Microalgae biorefinery: High value products perspectives.
Kit Wayne Chew,Jing Ying Yap,Pau Loke Show,Ng Hui Suan,Joon Ching Juan,Tau Chuan Ling,Duu-Jong Lee,Jo Shu Chang +7 more
TL;DR: The economic potential assessment of microalgae biorefinery was evaluated and high-value co-products produced through the extraction of a fraction of algae were evaluated to highlight the feasibility of the process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiesel from microalgae: A critical evaluation from laboratory to large scale production
TL;DR: An empirical and critical analysis on the potential of translating research findings from laboratory scale trials to full scale application and current methods for biomass harvesting and lipid extraction are critically evaluated.
Biodiesel from microalgae: a critical evaluation from laboratory to large scale production. Appl Energy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an empirical and critical analysis on the potential of translating research findings from laboratory-scale trials to full-scale application in bio-diesel production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploiting diversity and synthetic biology for the production of algal biofuels
TL;DR: Algae biofuels can be a more sustainable alternative to fossil fuels if sourced from organisms that can be farmed without using valuable arable land, and strain development and process engineering are needed.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofuels from microalgae—A review of technologies for production, processing, and extractions of biofuels and co-products
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the technologies underpinning microalgae-to-bio-fuels systems, focusing on the biomass production, harvesting, conversion technologies, and the extraction of useful co-products.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Lipid productivity as a key characteristic for choosing algal species for biodiesel production
TL;DR: The importance of lipid productivity as a selection parameter over lipid content and growth rate individually is demonstrated and provides a framework for decision-making and a starting point for further investigation of species selection.
