Algal biofuel hopes
the world's smallest. The giant rat is about the size of a cat and has been classified as belonging to the Mallomys genus of rodents. The region has the largest area of tropical forest without roads or trails. Its isolation is helped by its steep mountain slopes and difficult terrain. The Foja mountains rise to 2,200 metres and, although humans live at the base of the mountains, abundant game a...
متن کاملCoupling of Algal Biofuel Production with Wastewater
Microalgae have gained enormous consideration from scientific community worldwide emerging as a viable feedstock for a renewable energy source virtually being carbon neutral, high lipid content, and comparatively more advantageous to other sources of biofuels. Although microalgae are seen as a valuable source in majority part of the world for production of biofuels and bioproducts, still they a...
متن کاملImproving Butanol Fermentation To Enter the Advanced Biofuel Market
1-Butanol is a large-volume, intermediate chemical with favorable physical and chemical properties for blending with or directly substituting for gasoline. The per-volume value of butanol, as a chemical, is sufficient for investing into the recommercialization of the classical acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) (E. M. Green, Curr. Opin. Biotechnol. 22:337-343, 2011) fermentation process. Furthermore...
متن کاملComprehensive Evaluation of Algal Biofuel Production: Experimental and Target Results
Worldwide, algal biofuel research and development efforts have focused on increasing the competitiveness of algal biofuels by increasing the energy and financial return on investments, reducing water intensity and resource requirements, and increasing algal productivity. In this study, analyses are presented in each of these areas—costs, resource needs, and productivity—for two cases: (1) an Ex...
متن کاملRecent progress and future challenges in algal biofuel production
Modern society is fueled by fossil energy produced millions of years ago by photosynthetic organisms. Cultivating contemporary photosynthetic producers to generate energy and capture carbon from the atmosphere is one potential approach to sustaining society without disrupting the climate. Algae, photosynthetic aquatic microorganisms, are the fastest growing primary producers in the world and ca...
