The interest in algae based biofuels and chemicals has increased over the past few years
because of their potential to reduce the dependence on petroleum-based fuels and …

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 …

The enormous challenges faced in the search for suitable and profitable feedstocks to
produce biodiesel cannot be over-emphasis. This paper has provided an overview of …

Although solar energy and biogas have the advantages of clean and sustainable supply
when used to drive heating systems, they still face major issues of intermittency, unstable …

In this study, exergoeconomic and exergoenvironmental approaches were applied to
evaluate and optimize the performance of a low-energy consumption, high frequency …

Despite claims that microalgal biofuels are environmentally friendlier alternatives to
conventional fuels, debate surrounding its ecological benefits or drawbacks still exists. LCA …

As a result of the search for energy stability and for the guarantee of national security after
the oil crisis in the 70s, many developed and developing countries started studies and …

Microalgae are being considered as a viable feedstock for large-scale production of
biodiesel. However, though it may look simpler to obtain lipids from microalgae, the overall …

In this paper, a new concept called “exergoeconoenvironmental” analysis is proposed for a
better understanding of energy conversion systems with respect to thermodynamic …

Algae can be converted directly into energy, such as biodiesel, bioethanol and biomethanol
and therefore can be a source of renewable energy. There is a growing interest for biodiesel …
