• The promising future of microalgae: current status, challenges, and optimization of a sustainable and renewable industry for biofuels, feed, and other products (2018, background): “Additionally, crop foods require arable land and large amounts of water, which makes their use for fuel production unsustainable and thus, incomputable as alternative liquid fuels [23, 24].”
• Sustainability of the four generations of biofuels – A review (2020, background): “While the open system is prone to leakage, that may allow the microalgae to escape or leached into the environment.(133) Snow and Smith(143) addressed the potential environmental problems caused by genetically modified microalgae.”
• The Enzymatic Conversion of Major Algal and Cyanobacterial Carbohydrates to Bioethanol (2016, background): “org November 2016 | Volume 4 | Article 36 microalgae have been discussed in detail elsewhere (Hannon et al., 2010; Benemann, 2013; Scaife et al., 2015).”
• High-value products from macroalgae: the potential uses of the invasive brown seaweed, Sargassum muticum (2016, background): “…viable and sustainable way of supporting the development of a commercial seaweed biofuel industry, but considerably more research is required to support this contention (Baghel et al. 2015; Boonstra 2014; Hannon et al. 2010; Horn 2000; Jung et al. 2013; Milledge et al. 2014; Rajkumar et al. 2014).”
• Macroalgae-Derived Biofuel: A Review of Methods of Energy Extraction from Seaweed Biomass (2014, background): “However, the lessons learned from high value, low tonnage non-fuel macroalgal-derived products, together with their potential for co-production with fuel, may lead to the more rapid commercial realisation of algal-derived biofuels [182].”
• Applying ecological principles of crop cultivation in large-scale algal biomass production (2014, background): “However, although significant progress is being made at essentially every step in the production chain, algal biofuels technology must overcome very significant challenges and hurdles before it can compete successfully and sustainably in the marketplace, and become adopted globally as an energy alte”
• Microalgae in aquafeeds for a sustainable aquaculture industry (2018, background): “2011), while the availability of a large amount of biomass could be affected by contamination (Hannon et al. 2010), etc.”
