Microalgae Biomass Production for CO2 Mitigation and Biodiesel Production

Evaluation of Biomass Production and Wastewater Nutrient Removal Using Microalgae: Sustainable Strategy to CO2 Bio-Fixation and Bioenergy Production Approach

Nowadays, the replacement of renewable energies such as biofuels is one of the main priorities in environmental programming and investments. This study is based on sustainable strategy towards integrating algal biomass generation as a green feedstock with wastewater treatment, CO2 bio-fixation, and bioenergy production. Therefore, the performance of Trichormus variabilis in ...

Algal Biomass and Biodiesel Production

Harvesting and Processing of Microalgae Biomass Fractions for Biodiesel Production (a Review)

There has been a recent resurgent interest in microalgae as an oil producer for biofuel applications. An adequate supply of nutrients and carbon dioxide enables algae to successfully transform light energy of the sun into energy rich chemical compounds through photosynthesis. A strain with high lipids, successfully grown and harvested, could provide oil for most of our process by volume, which ...

Hurdles and challenges for modelling and control of microalgae for CO2 mitigation and biofuel production

Oleaginous microalgae are seen as a potential major biofuel producer in the future since, under conditions of nitrogen deprivation, they can contain high amounts of lipids, while they consume CO2 from power plants. These photosynthetic microorganisms are however rather different from the microorganisms usually used in biotechnology. In particular, predicting the behaviour of microalgal based pr...

Microalgae for biodiesel production and other applications: A review

Sustainable production of renewable energy is being hotly debated globally since it is increasingly understood that first generation biofuels, primarily produced from food crops and mostly oil seeds are limited in their ability to achieve targets for biofuel production, climate changemitigation and economic growth. These concerns have increased the interest in developing second generation biofu...
