Biodiesel from microalgae: A critical evaluation from laboratory to large scale production (2013, background): “Thermo-chemical conversion such as direct burning, pyrolysis and liquefaction has been suggested as a viable alternative to biofuels production via the production of bio-oil and alternate energy resources such as syngas [24].”
A techno-economic analysis of industrial production of marine microalgae as a source of EPA and DHA-rich raw material for aquafeed: Research challenges and possibilities (2015, background): “While there is an ample catalogue of literature on microalgae as a source of biofuels (Chisti, 2007, 2013; Scott et al., 2010; Wijffels and Barbosa, 2010), there are few reports on the development ofmicroalgae for other high value commodities such as feed (Benemann, 2013; Burr et al.”
Advances and perspectives in using microalgae to produce biodiesel (2011, background): “The general principle is that when there is insufficient nitrogen for the protein synthesis required by growth, excess carbon from photosynthesis is channeled into such storage molecules as triacylglycerols or starch [4].”
Microwave energy potential for biodiesel production (2013, background): “A viable alternative fuel as a substitute to fossil fuel (ex: biodiesel) will not only provide comparable or superior environmental performance but also will result in an energy gain in the overall process [195,196].”
Molecular mechanisms for photosynthetic carbon partitioning into storage neutral lipids in Nannochloropsis oceanica under nitrogen-depletion conditions (2015, background): “phosphatidylcholine (PC), diacylglycero-4′-O(N,N,N-trimethyl)-homoserine (DGTS), phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphotidylethanolamine (PE)) [43,44], profound changes in total carbohydrates, lipids and proteinsmay occurwhenN is limited or depleted from the culture medium.”
Third generation biofuels from microalgae (2010, background): “Within the green algae, typical species include Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Dunaliella salina, and various Chlorella species, as well as Botryococcus braunii, which although slow growing can accumulate large quantities of lipids [15].”
Energy balance and environmental impact analysis of marine microalgal biomass production for biodiesel generation in a photobioreactor pilot plant (2012, background): “, dewatering and lipid extraction, have been observed as important stages and should be considered in energy balances [46,47].”
Development of an effective acidogenically digested swine manure-based algal system for improved wastewater treatment and biofuel and feed production (2013, neutral): “Problems such as contamination by zooplankton or other adventitious organisms, evaporation, and temperature volatility could potentially prevent the system from being a practical strategy for the production of algae-based biofuel or feed [41].”
