Extraction of oil from microalgae for biodiesel production: A review. (2012, background): “Even using a conservative scenario, microalgae are still predicted to produce about 10 times more biodiesel per unit area of land than a typical terrestrial oleaginous crop (Chisti, 2007; Rosenberg et al., 2008; Sheehan et al., 1998; Shenk et al., 2008).”
Utilization of centrate for the production of the marine microalgae Nannochloropsis gaditana (2015, background): “For this reason, 45 considerable effort has been made recently to develop technologies for producing biofuels 46 such as bio-diesel, bio-ethanol, bio-methane and bio-hydrogen from microalgae biomass 47 (Rosenberg et al., 2008; Schenk et al., 2008).”
Biofuels from algae: challenges and potential (2010, background): “Algae production strains also have the potential to be bioengineered, allowing improvement of specific traits [25,26] and production of valuable co-products, which may allow algal biofuels to compete economically with petroleum.”
