Marine microalgae and seaweeds (microalgae) represent a sustainable source of various
bioactive natural carotenoids, including β-carotene, lutein, astaxanthin, zeaxanthin …

Culturing of microalgae as an alternative feedstock for biofuel production has received a lot
of attention in recent years due to their fast growth rate and ability to accumulate high …

Despite receiving increasing attention during the last few decades, the production of
microalgal biofuels is not yet sufficiently cost-effective to compete with that of petroleum …

A new process evaluation methodology of microalgae biodiesel has been developed. Based
on four evaluation criteria, ie the net energy ratio (NER), biodiesel production costs …

Biofuels production from biomass of lignocellulosic, vegetable oils and algae origins as well
as from municipal solid waste via hydroprocessing (HPR) is in various stages of …

Marine ecosystems cover more than 70% of the globe's surface. These habitats are
occupied by a great diversity of marine organisms that produce highly structural diverse …

The concerns of fossil fuel depletion and environmental issues have increased general
interest in studies on the development of sustainable biofuel. In the biofuel production …

Algae contain lipids and functional compounds such as carotenoids. Especially, microalgae
are recently focused as a source of biofuel. To extract these components, organic solvent or …

Microalgae are being considered as a viable feedstock for large-scale production of
biodiesel. However, though it may look simpler to obtain lipids from microalgae, the overall …

Among the most formidable challenges to algal biofuels is the ability to harvest algae and
extract intracellular lipids at low cost and with a positive energy balance. In this monograph …
