High Lipid Induction in Microalgae for Biodiesel Production
Sharma, Kalpesh K.; Schuhmann, Holger; Schenk, Peer M. - In: Energies 5 (2012) 5, pp. 1532-1553
Oil-accumulating microalgae have the potential to enable large-scale biodiesel production without competing for arable land or biodiverse natural landscapes. High lipid productivity of dominant, fast-growing algae is a major prerequisite for commercial production of microalgal oil-derived...

Promoting Second Generation Biofuels: Does the First Generation Pave the Road?
Eggert, Hakan; Greaker, Mads - In: Energies 7 (2014) 7, pp. 4430-4445
The U.S., Brazil and a number of European and other countries worldwide have introduced various support schemes for bioethanol and biodiesel. The advantage of these biofuels is that they are relatively easily integrated with the current fossil fuel-based transport sector, at least up to a...

Isolation and Fatty Acid Profile of Selected Microalgae Strains from the Red Sea for Biofuel Production
Pereira, Hugo; Barreira, Luísa; Custódio, Luísa; … - In: Energies 6 (2013) 6, pp. 2773-2783
The isolation of lipid-rich autochthonous strains of microalgae is a crucial stage for the development of a microalgae-based biofuel production plant, as these microalgae already have the necessary adaptations to withstand competition, predation and the temperatures observed at each production...
