Macroalgae for biofuels production: Progress and perspectives

Chen, Huihui; Zhou, Dong; Luo, Gang; Zhang, Shicheng; … - In: Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 47 (2015) C, pp. 427-437

Algae is a very promising source for renewable energy production since it can fix the greenhouse gas (CO2) by photosynthesis and does not compete with the production of food. Compared to microalgae, researches on biofuel production from macroalgae in both academia and industry are at infancy for...
