Anaerobic digestion of microalgae residues resulting from the biodiesel production process
TLDR
The recovery of methane from post transesterified microalgae residues has the potential to improve the renewability of the ‘microalgae biomass to biodiesel’ conversion process as well as reduce its cost and environmental impact.About:

Theoretical assessment of biomethane production from algal residues after biodiesel production
TL;DR: In this article, the theoretical yields of microalgal biodiesel and biomethane together with the relevant calorific values during the continuous production were determined, based on the investigated species, and the yields widely range from 6 to 134 g/kg−VS and from 0.24 to 0.63 L/g−VS, respectively.

Enhanced bioenergy recovery from oil-extracted microalgae residues via two-step H2/CH4 or H2/butanol anaerobic fermentation
TL;DR: This study demonstrated an integrated system as an option for treating OMR and recovering bioenergy, in the forms of butanol, H2, or CH4, from pretreated OMR.

Nitrogen-to-Protein Conversion Factors for Crop Residues and Animal Manure Common in China
TL;DR: A survey of biomass samples in China indicated protein contents from 2.65 to 3.98% for crop residues and from 6.07 to 10.24% for animal manure of dry basis, indicating that the traditional factor of 6.25 is not suitable for biomass samples.

Microalgal triacylglycerols as feedstocks for biofuel production: perspectives and advances
Qiang Hu,Milton Sommerfeld,Eric E. Jarvis,Maria L. Ghirardi,Matthew C. Posewitz,Michael Seibert,Aldis Darzins +6 more
TL;DR: A brief summary of the current knowledge on oleaginous algae and their fatty acid and TAG biosynthesis, algal model systems and genomic approaches to a better understanding of TAG production, and a historical perspective and path forward for microalgae-based biofuel research and commercialization are provided.
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.
