Biofuels from microalgae.
Microalgae are a diverse group of prokaryotic and eukaryotic photosynthetic microorganisms that grow rapidly due to their simple structure. They can potentially be employed for the production of biofuels in an economically effective and environmentally sustainable manner. Microalgae have been investigated for the production of a number of different biofuels including biodiesel, bio-oil, bio-syn...
متن کاملThird generation biofuels from microalgae
Biofuel production from renewable sources is widely considered to be one of the most sustainable alternatives to petroleum sourced fuels and a viable means for environmental and economic sustainability. Microalgae are currently being promoted as an ideal third generation biofuel feedstock because of their rapid growth rate, CO2 fixation ability and high production capacity of lipids; they also ...
متن کاملDo biofuels from microalgae beat biofuels from terrestrial plants?
Energy in algal oil 37.90 Energy in biogas from residual biomass 50.00 Estimated as 22.85 MJ kg 1 of urea and 2.94 MJ kg 1 of diammonium phosphate. Using sedimentation followed by continuous vacuum belt filters. Approximate only in view of the developmental nature of algal oil recovery processes. Estimated as 80.4 MJ m 2 of facility area divided by a 20 year working life and the mass of oil pro...
متن کاملTowards Sustainable Production of Biofuels from Microalgae
Renewable and carbon neutral biofuels are necessary for environmental and economic sustainability. The viability of the first generation biofuels production is however questionable because of the conflict with food supply. Microalgal biofuels are a viable alternative. The oil productivity of many microalgae exceeds the best producing oil crops. This paper aims to analyze and promote integration...
متن کاملThe water footprint of biofuels from microalgae
Microalgae are receiving much interest as a possible biofuels feedstock, resulting in increasing research and development efforts. Biofuels from microalgae are potentially important sources of liquid renewable energy carriers, replacing petrol. Algae are not produced on a large-scale yet, but research shows promising results. Biofuel production needs water, an increasingly scarce resource. The ...
