- Microalgae in aquafeeds for a sustainable aquaculture industry (2018, background): “Technoeconomic analysis suggests that, for an algae-to-biofuel process to be profitable, it will be necessary to combine biofuel production with higher-value product (Davis et al. 2011; Borowitzka 2013a; Lu et al. 2016).”
- Growth, nutrient uptake and chemical composition of Chlorella sp. and Nannochloropsis oculata under nitrogen starvation (2016, neutral): “However, even with the expected progress to produce microalgae biomass it is unlike that low-lipid strains can be selected as feedstocks for biodiesel production, considering the tremendous technological challenges of this enterprise (Davis et al., 2011).”
- High-density fed-batch culture of a thermotolerant microalga Chlorella sorokiniana for biofuel production (2013, background): “Phototrophic culture of algae in open ponds is a more favorable option than closed photobioreactor systems due to the low production costs [2,3].”
- Economic comparison of open pond raceways to photo bio-reactors for profitable production of algae for transportation fuels in the Southwest (2012, background): “study [22] is extended to a financial feasibility study for two production systems, open ponds and PBRs, in this research.”
- Process Design and Economics for the Conversion of Lignocellulosic Biomass to Hydrocarbons: Dilute-Acid and Enzymatic Deconstruction of Biomass to Sugars and Biological Conversion of Sugars to Hydrocarbons (2013, methodology): “Namely, a prior NREL study for hydrotreating triglycerides was leveraged [86], which in turn was based in large part on a report jointly authored by UOP, NREL, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and Michigan Technological University [87].”
- Biodiesel from microalgae: A critical evaluation from laboratory to large scale production (2013, background): “They are able achieve and operate at high biomass concentrations due to their high surface area to volume ratio [92,93].”
- Scaling up microalgal cultures to commercial scale (2017, background): “More recently, since the recognition that the production of algal biofuels is not economically viable (Stephens et al., 2010; Davis et al., 2011), attention has been refocused on microalgae as sources of higher value products.”
- Microalgae biorefinery: High value products perspectives. (2017, neutral): “However, the costs of lipid productions possess the potential for improvement in the future with the discovery of microalgae strains that are capable of sustaining high growth rates at high lipid content (Davis et al., 2011).”
