Biodiesel can be produced from vegetable oils, animal fats, frying oils, and from
microorganism-synthesized oils. These sources render biodiesel an easily biodegradable …

Increasing demand for energy and also escalating environmental pollution show that
industries cannot rely on fossil fuels, and it is necessary to adopt an alternative. In recent …

As the world's population grows, so does the amount of wastewater produced, as well as the
demand for energy. Furthermore, the combustion of fossil fuels for energy production emits …

One of the main problems of microalgae lipids is their high content of free fatty acids (FFAs),
which creates problems of soap formation during homogeneous alkali transesterification …

Chlorella vulgaris and Dunaliella salina are two kinds of microalgae, which are widely
distributed in China. Thermal decomposition of low-lipid C. vulgaris and D. salina were …

The depletion of fossil fuel resources and increasing environmental pollution led to a trend
for using alternative, clean, green, and sustainable fuel and energy resources. To attain this …

Microalgal biodiesel has emerged as a promising fuel source, but has still not been adopted
commercially. One of the several inherent challenges is its high production cost, which …

Biofuel from biomass resources has been promoted as a solution to meeting global energy
demands and reducing emission of pollutants from the transportation sector. Biofuel …

The detailed component analyses of algal oils such as neutral (mono, di and triglycerides;
free fatty acids) and polar (glyceroglyco/phospho) lipids, and their fatty acid profile including …

The proposed work aims to give a comprehensive account of the algae to the energy
