Chlorococcum humicola (Nageli) Rabenhorst as a Renewable Source of Bioproducts and Biofuel

An overview of biofuel as a renewable energy source: development and challenges

Depletion of petroleum derived fuel and environmental concern has promoted to look over the biofuel as an alternative fuel sources. But a complete substitution of petroleum derived fuels by biofuel is impossible from the production capacity and engine compatibility point of view. Yet, marginal replacement of diesel by biofuel can prolong the depletion of petroleum resources and abate the radica...

Microalgae as Sustainable Renewable Energy Feedstock for Biofuel Production

The world energy crisis and increased greenhouse gas emissions have driven the search for alternative and environmentally friendly renewable energy sources. According to life cycle analysis, microalgae biofuel is identified as one of the major renewable energy sources for sustainable development, with potential to replace the fossil-based fuels. Microalgae biofuel was devoid of the major drawba...

Endophytic fungi as a source of biofuel precursors.

Endophytic fungi, isolated from a number of different species of tropical plants, were investigated for lipid biodiesel precursor production. The extracts produced from liquid cultures of these fungi were subjected to acidcatalyzed transesterification reactions with methanol producing methyl esters and then analyzed through chromatographic (GC-FID) and spectrometric techniques (MS, NMR ¹H). The...

A Renewable Source of Fuel

ory construction, George Homans pointed out that the theory is not a theory at all. Laughlin and Brady, like Parsons before them, have written what Homans calls an "orienting statement," which identifies an area of concern without making it possible to quantify variables, apply the framework precisely to particular situations, or infer anything from the theory. As even one of the contributors p...
