It presents an effective bio-butanol production with various acid hydrolysis treatment strategies H2SO4, HCI and H3PO4 (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5%) from Nannochloropsis gaditana grown under different light intensities (40, 80, 120 and 160μmolm-2 s-1). Microalgae were cultivated at 24 ± 2 with f/2...

Biodiesel is a promising sustainable alternative to non-renewable petrodiesel. In this work, oils extracted from microalgae are used for biodiesel production. To simplify the process, the extraction of the oils and their reaction are made to take place simultaneously in one step. Immobilized...

The growing impacts of climate change mainly due to the increasing emissions of GHG, especially carbon dioxide, has led to the development and implementation of specific strategies and policies to reduce them. Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) is currently seen as a good option, as it...

Microalgae have been reported as a promising alternative for biofuels production. However, the use of microalgae for biofuels is still a challenge due to the intense energy use and the generation of a significant amount of biomass residues in the process. In order to analyze the environmental...

The increase in the world's energy demand has contributed to the emergence of new sustainable energy sources, such as microalgae, with their great potential to provide biofuels and other high value co-products for the food and health's markets. However, current biorefinery methodologies are...

Purpose: The purpose of this case study is to develop and framework supply chain characteristics and risk mitigation strategies in the context of biodiesel downstream supply chain. Design/methodology/approach: This study employs an expert interview-based approach as a qualitative approach with a...

Achieving an affordable clean energy in accordance to the sustainable development goal (SDG 7) is a challenge in Nigeria and other nations in Africa. Most of the currently used energy strategies are either not sustainable or poorly maintained. Nigeria is a major exporter of fossil fuel but...
