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:

Optimization of bio-H2 production from acid pretreated microalgal biomass
TL;DR: In this paper, the dark fermentative hydrogen production (DFHP) from acid pretreated microalgal biomass was optimized with via statistical experimental design, and the optimal condition was found that at H2 yield reached to 37.3 mL H2/g dcw at 1.2% HCl and 48 min.

Enhanced Bio-hydrogen Production from Pretreated Microalgal Waste
Microalgae: Future biofuel
TL;DR: In this paper, the characterization, benefit and future applications of microalgae as an eco friendly and economically viable platform for the production of bio-fuels are discussed. But the authors focus on the characterization and benefit of micro-algae.
Dissertation
Exploiting Local Algal Diversity for Bio-Diesel Production
TL;DR: Results show that the combination of dried algal biomass with the Folch’s method yields more than 27% lipid which was comparatively higher than the traditional Soxhlet methodology i.e. 15%.

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.
