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 … (35-50 °C), reaction time (2-6 h), and methanol:oil (M:O) molar ratio (8:1-16:1) on biodiesel yield were investigated …

The use of microalgae as feedstocks for biodiesel is potentially limited by climatic conditions with low light and … biodiesel for testing in a stationary engine. GC analysis showed FAMEs produced from Monoraphidium sp. to have a similar fatty … acid profile to soybean oil. Engine testing of this algal biodiesel in blends with petrodiesel showed a significant …

exponential fuel demand and now the race is on for alternate energy source. The fortunate improvements in Biodiesel fuel … production techniques has been the heading topic of economic and environment sustainability so far. Biodiesel have the potential … to replace diesel in vehicle engines. It has been tested and proved that engines running on biodiesel have shown low …

summarizes how CO2 levels affected micro algal species. Several species of algae as Scenedesmus obliquus, Botryococcus braunii …

imaging. FAME produced via DT of Chlorella sp. FC2 IITG satisfied most of the biodiesel properties as per ASTM D6751 and hence …

down the global climate change. Currently, a significant amount of bioethanol and biodiesel are produced as biofuels to …, and biodiesel from crop and plant oils. Production of these raw materials is competing for the limited arable land against … biodiesel from microalgae. The summary includes the descriptions of the technologies, their advantages and challenges …

Oil-accumulating microalgae have the potential to enable large-scale biodiesel production without competing for arable … commercial production of microalgal oil-derived biodiesel. However, under optimal growth conditions, large amounts of algal … for the production of biodiesel. …
