Thermodynamic assessment of algal biodiesel utilization

Sorguven, Esra; Özilgen, Mustafa - In: Renewable Energy 35 (2010) 9, pp. 1956-1966

In late 1990's some microalgae were found to be capable of producing lipids from carbon dioxide via photosynthesis with thirty times the efficiency of plants in terms of the amount of oil produced per unit area of the land allocated. This process raised hope in the fight against environmental...
