BIOFUEL PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY FROM BIOENERGY CROP-ALGAE BIOFUEL

Biofuel Production from Algae Utilizing Wastewater

The growing concern surrounding the continued use of fossil fuels and rapid depletion of fossil fuel reserves, global climate change, rising crude oil price and environmental degradation have forced scientific community and researchers to find out alternative energy sources. The potential of microalgae as a source of renewable energy has received considerable interest. However, the overall curr...

Engineering algae for biohydrogen and biofuel production.

There is currently substantial interest in utilizing eukaryotic algae for the renewable production of several bioenergy carriers, including starches for alcohols, lipids for diesel fuel surrogates, and H2 for fuel cells. Relative to terrestrial biofuel feedstocks, algae can convert solar energy into fuels at higher photosynthetic efficiencies, and can thrive in salt water systems. Recently, the...

Bioenergy from Biofuel Residues and Wastes.

This review includes works published in the general scientific literature during 2015 on the production of bioenergy and biofuel from waste residues generated during bioethanol and biodiesel production with a brief overview of current and emerging feedstocks. A section of this review summarizes literature on culturing algae for biofuels including bioreactors and open pond cultivation systems wi...

Hydrodynamics-Biology Coupling for Algae Culture and Biofuel Production

Production of biofuel by using micro algae (Botryococcus braunii)

Microalgae are photosynthetic, heterotrophic organisms that have an extraordinary potential for cultivation as energy crops. Microalgae are potential source of biomass, which may have great biodiversity and consequent variability in their biochemical composition (Satyanarayana et al., 2011). Under difficult agro-climatic conditions and are able to produce a wide range of commercially interestin...
