Biodiesel from microalgae.
TL;DR: As demonstrated here, microalgae appear to be the only source of renewable biodiesel that is capable of meeting the global demand for transport fuels.

Second generation biofuels: high-efficiency microalgae for biodiesel production
Peer M. Schenk,Skye R. Thomas-Hall,Evan Stephens,Ute C. Marx,Jan H. Mussgnug,Clemens Posten,Olaf Kruse,Ben Hankamer +7 more
TL;DR: A review of second generation biodiesel production systems using microalgae can be found in this paper, where the main advantages of second-generation microalgal systems are that they: (1) have a higher photon conversion efficiency (as evidenced by increased biomass yields per hectare): (2) can be harvested batch-wise nearly all-year-round, providing a reliable and continuous supply of oil: (3) can utilize salt and waste water streams, thereby greatly reducing freshwater use: (4) can couple CO2-neutral fuel production with CO2 sequestration: (

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
Heterotrophic cultures of microalgae: Metabolism and potential products
TL;DR: This review analyzes the current state of a specific niche of microalgae cultivation; heterotrophic growth in the dark supported by a carbon source replacing the traditional support of light energy.

The interrelationship and characteristic distribution of direct, diffuse and total solar radiation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present relationships permitting the determination on a horizontal surface of the instantaneous intensity of diffuse radiation on clear days, the long term average hourly and daily sums of diffuse radii, and the daily sum of diffuse radiata for various categories of days of differing degrees of cloudiness.

The long-term average performance of flat-plate solar-energy collectors
TL;DR: The flat-plate collectors have been used successfully for many years in the southern United States and elsewhere as water heaters, and potentially can be used for space heating, drying, refrigeration, power generation and similar purposes as discussed by the authors.

Nutrient‐ and light‐limited growth of Thalassiosira fluviatilis in continuous culture, with implications for phytoplankton growth in the ocean
Edward A. Laws,T. T. Bannister +1 more
TL;DR: The marine diatom Thalassiosira jluvintilis was grown in a continuous culture system at 20°C on a 12:12 L:D cycle over a series of nutrient- and light-limited dilution rates and Bannister’s theoretical model describing nutrient-saturated growth gave an excellent fit to the light- limited data.
