Due to resource depletion and climate change, lipid-based algal biofuel has been pointed
out as an interesting alternative because of the high productivity of algae per hectare and …

Microalgae are considered as one of the potential major source of biofuel for the future.
However, their environmental benefit is still unclear and many scientific publications provide …

This article presents mass balances and a detailed life cycle assessment (LCA) for energy
and greenhouse gases (GHG s) of a simulated microalgae biodiesel production system. Key …

There has been a recent resurgence in research investigating bioenergy production from
algal biomass due to the potential environmental benefits in comparison to conventional …

Despite claims that microalgal biofuels are environmentally friendlier alternatives to
conventional fuels, debate surrounding its ecological benefits or drawbacks still exists. LCA …

This paper provides an analysis of the potential environmental impacts of biodiesel
production from microalgae. High production yields of microalgae have called forth interest …

The potential of microalgae as a source of biofuels and as a technological solution for CO 2
fixation is subject to intense academic and industrial research. In the perspective of setting …

As the demand for biofuels increases globally, microalgae offer a viable biomass feedstock
to produce biofuel. With abundant sources of biomass in rural communities, these materials …

Algal biofuel has become an attractive alternative of petroleum-based fuels in the past
decade. Microalgae have been proposed as a feedstock to produce biodiesel, since they …

Life-cycle assessment has been used to investigate the global warming potential (GWP) and
