Recovery of microalgal biomass and metabolites: process options and economics
TL;DR: Economics of monoseptic production of microalgae in photobioreactors and the downstream recovery of metabolites are discussed using eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) recovery as a representative case study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiesel from microalgae beats bioethanol.
TL;DR: Biodiesel from microalgae seems to be the only renewable biofuel that has the potential to completely displace petroleum-derived transport fuels without adversely affecting supply of food and other crop products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microalgae as biodiesel & biomass feedstocks: Review & analysis of the biochemistry, energetics & economics
TL;DR: The main conclusions are that the biochemical composition of the biomass influences the economics, in particular, increased lipid content reduces other valuable compounds in the biomass; the “biofuel only” option is unlikely to be economically viable; and among the hardest problems in assessing the economics are the cost of the CO2 supply and uncertain nature of downstream processing.
