Effects of Environmental Factors and Nutrient Availability on the Biochemical Composition of Algae for Biofuels Production: A Review
Due to significant lipid and carbohydrate production as well as other useful properties such as high production of useful biomolecular substrates (e.g., lipids) and the ability to grow using non-potable water sources, algae are being explored as a potential high-yield feedstock for biofuels production. In both natural and engineered systems, algae can be exposed to a variety of environmental co...
متن کاملAn overview of algae biofuel production and potential environmental impact.
Algae are among the most potentially significant sources of sustainable biofuels in the future of renewable energy. A feedstock with virtually unlimited applicability, algae can metabolize various waste streams (e.g., municipal wastewater, carbon dioxide from industrial flue gas) and produce products with a wide variety of compositions and uses. These products include lipids, which can be proce...
متن کاملDevelopment of algae for the production of bioethanol, biomethane, biohydrogen and biodiesel
Microalgal biofuels are a viable alternative for clean, economical and sustainable sources of energy. The research and development of micro-algae needs a massive boost to ease the technical difficulties to overcome the large cost advantage of other biofuel feed stocks. It is a large source of biomass on non-arable lands and capture of CO2. Lipids produced from algae contain saturated and polar ...
متن کاملPhospholipids in Algae for Biodiesel Production
Introduction Biodiesel producers have long recognized the need for new sources of oil feedstock if biodiesel is to continue displacing petroleum-based diesel fuel. One potential source of oil that could minimize competition with food crops is microbial oil, with photosynthetic algae being the most widely studied option. An understanding of algal lipids, their native biochemistry and interaction...
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 ...
