Effective utilization of deoiled algae biomass as a promising feedstock for bioenergy generation: Integrated approach towards sustainable bio-refinery industry

Algae biomass has been recognized as a potential and promising feedstock for biodiesel production. However, the expenses associated with overall downstream processing steps question sustainability of algae biodiesel. With an aim to improve this, sustainable approach explored using lipid extracted (LEB) Spirulinaplatensis biogas generation. The alternate use LEB generation showed maximum 400 cm3/g total solids period 70 days. volume generated under similar experimental conditions original was in range observed LEB.The optimistic results obtained from study suggested that can definitely be exploited such applications cost economics bio-refinery.
