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:

Co-digestion strategies to enhance microalgae anaerobic digestion: A review
TL;DR: Overall, more lab-scale and pilot-scale continuous experiments are needed to get a holistic understanding of microalgal anaerobic co-digestion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial Bioaugmentation for Improving Methane and Hydrogen Production From Microalgae
TL;DR: Bioaugmentation with C. thermocellum improved the degradation of C. vulgaris biomass, producing higher levels of methane and hydrogen, and was found to be an energy-efficiency method for hydrogen and methane production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of hydraulic and solids retention times on productivity and settleability of microbial (microalgal-bacterial) biomass grown on primary treated wastewater as a biofuel feedstock.
TL;DR: To produce naturally settleable biomass, combined growth of native microalgae and bacteria was facilitated in laboratory sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) using primary treated wastewater from the Christchurch Wastewater Treatment Plant in New Zealand to generate methane based on settleable mixture productivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of solid and aqueous phase products from hydrothermal carbonization of whole and lipid-extracted algae.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of whole and lipid extracted algal feedstocks in order to produce a solid biofuel (hydrochar) and value-added co-products in the aqueous phase.

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.
