Climate changes induced by anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions (mainly carbon
dioxide) is one of the major threats of the modern era. Primary causes are the high reliance …

Microalgae biofuel production has been extensively evaluated through resource, economic
and life cycle assessments. Resource assessments consistently identify land as non-limiting …

Thermocatalytic (trans) esterification of oils/lipids to produce biodiesel is generally energy-
consuming, reversible, and controlled by the equilibrium law. Herein, a light-induced …

Microalgae is being investigated as a renewable transportation fuel feedstock based on
various advantages that include high annual yields, utilization of poor quality land, does not …

Life cycle analysis (LCA) of algal biodiesel production process can provide a quantitative
measure for its sustainability. In this paper, the published LCA studies of algae biodiesel …

Purpose Microalgae-derived biofuels are considered a low-carbon alternative to fossil fuels.
Nevertheless, as with all biofuels, there is still uncertainty around their sustainability. Most …

Biomass-based power generation combined with CO 2 capture and storage (Biopower
CCS) currently represents one of the few practical and economic means of removing large …

The numerous challenges associated with declining fossil fuel reserves as energy sources,
have accounted for a shift to biofuels as alternatives. However, transesterification of animal …

We present the results from sustained tonne-quantity production of two novel strains of
marine microalgae, the diatom Staurosira and the chlorophyte Desmodesmus, cultivated in …

Given that sustainable energy production and advanced wastewater treatment for producing
clean water are two major challenges faced by modern society, microalgae make a …
