Cultivation of Nannochloropsis salina using anaerobic digestion effluent as a nutrient source for biofuel production (2013, background): “Microalgae-based biodiesel is one of the promising alternatives to fossil fuels [6].”
High-value products from macroalgae: the potential uses of the invasive brown seaweed, Sargassum muticum (2016, background): “The biorefinery concept is an ‘emerging research field’ (Rawat et al. 2013) and in December 2009 the US Department of Energy announced a US$ 100 million grant for three organisations to research algal biorefineries (Singh and Ahluwalia 2013).”
Long-Term Cultivation of Algae in Open-Raceway Ponds: Lessons from the Field (2015, neutral): “27 Algal strain selection and development through field trials play an enormous role in the success of culture stability, especially when year-round cultivation in extreme environments is attempted.”
Algal Biofuels: Current Status and Key Challenges (2019, background): “Since excessive oxygen can negatively affect the algal growth, an auxiliary tank is usually added to separate it [19].”
Macroalgae-Derived Biofuel: A Review of Methods of Energy Extraction from Seaweed Biomass (2014, background): “Although biorefineries could allow the exploitation of the entire algal biomass, and improve the economics of biofuel production [188], they are likely to be energy intensive with increased energy inputs, process complexity and reduced energy outputs [184,186].”
