The use of microalgae as feedstocks for biodiesel is potentially limited by climatic conditions with low light and … biodiesel for testing in a stationary engine. GC analysis showed FAMEs produced from Monoraphidium sp. to have a similar fatty … acid profile to soybean oil. Engine testing of this algal biodiesel in blends with petrodiesel showed a significant …

The economically significant production of carbon-neutral biodiesel from microalgae has been hailed as the ultimate … the commercial viability of large scale production of biodiesel from microalgae. Vital steps need to be critically … upstream processing of microalgae for biomass and lipid production for biodiesel production. We present in this review an …
