Biofuels from Algae
Algae can provide a variety of fuels for transport, heating or electricity generation, including biodiesel, aviation fuel and biogas. Algal biofuels are at an experimental stage and are more expensive than fossil fuels. Algal biofuels could be made more costeffective by extracting other valuable products from algae or incorporating their production into waste water treatment. Commercial...
متن کاملScope of Algae as Third Generation Biofuels
An initiative has been taken to develop different solid, liquid, and gaseous biofuels as the alternative energy resources. The current research and technology based on the third generation biofuels derived from algal biomass have been considered as the best alternative bioresource that avoids the disadvantages of first and second generation biofuels. Algal biomass has been investigated for the ...
متن کاملAlgae: Advanced Biofuels and Other Opportunities
Abstract Despite the challenges, depending on the local conditions and practices, renewable energy sources are already a significant contribution to the energy mix. Although this is true for electricity generation, the same does not apply for the transportation sector, where the available renewable sources are limited and still have a modest impact in the overall consumption. In this context, a...
متن کاملGenetically Engineered Algae for Biofuels: A Key Role for Ecologists
Genetically engineered (GE) microalgae are nearing commercial release for biofuels production without sufficient public information or ecological studies to investigate their possible risks. Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) and eukaryotic green algae are likely to disperse widely from open ponds and, on a smaller scale with lower probability, from enclosed photobioreactors. With powerful molecu...
