Due to increasing oil prices and climate change concerns, biodiesel has gained attention as an alternative energy … source. Biodiesel derived from microalgae is a potentially renewable and carbon–neutral alternative to petroleum fuels. One … lipid content of 58±1.5%. Under similar environmental conditions, M. pusillum reached a growth rate of 2.3±0.55 day−1 and a …

Biodiesel production from microalgae has recently increased on interest. The objective of this work is to explore the … potential of biodiesel production from the microalgae Isochrysis galbana (T-ISO). For that reason, this microalgae was … cultivated for biodiesel production. The culture system equipment consisted of two methacrylate ponds, 11mm thick. The pond has a …
