Microalgae biofuel production has been extensively evaluated through resource, economic
and life cycle assessments. Resource assessments consistently identify land as non-limiting …

Abstract Waste-to-Energy (WtE) technologies offer the promise of diverting organic wastes,
including wastewater sludge, livestock waste, and food waste, for beneficial energy use …

Microalgae are a promising alternative for future biofuel production. Compared to first-and
second-generation biofuels, microalgal production systems offer higher biofuel productivities …

Algae's high productivity provides potential resource advantages over other fuel crops.
However, demand for land, water, and nutrients must be minimized to avoid impacts on food …

The decline in available fossil fuel resources coupled with an ever increasing global
demand for energy, have led to substantial interest in the development of renewable …

The goals of ensuring energy, water, food, and climate security can often conflict. Microalgae
(algae) are being pursued as a feedstock for both food and fuels—primarily due to algae's …

Locating sites for new algae cultivation facilities is a complex task. The climate must support
high growth rates, and cultivation ponds require appropriate land and water resources, as …

Production of economically competitive and environmentally sustainable algal biofuel faces
technical challenges that are subject to high uncertainties. Here we identify target values for …

Sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels are urgently needed to avoid severe climate impacts
and further environmental degradation. Microalgae are one of the most productive crops …

Successful development of a large-scale microalgae-based biofuels industry requires
comprehensive analysis and understanding of the feedstock supply chain—from facility …
