Sustainable Production of Microalgae Biomass as a Biodiesel Feedstock
brings together the latest methods in the production and utilization of microalgae as biodiesel, offering new insights into how this can be environmentally-friendly, renewable-integrated, energy efficient, and in a way that supports the mitigation of the effects of climate change.
The book begins by introducing the different feedstock options for biodiesel production and their selection, the various biodiesel production processes, and the role of microalgae biodiesel as an alternative fuel for diesel engines.
Strategies for reducing energy consumption during production, and the connections between microalgae cultivation and CO2 capture are also examined.
Other sections focus on renewable energy integration with specific case studies.
This is followed by a section that addresses sustainability and related impacts, including techno-economic analysis that compares conventional and renewable energy sources, and life cycle assessment.
Finally, emerging technologies and future research opportunities are discussed.
This new volume in the Woodhead Series in Bioenergy is valuable to all those with an interest in biodiesel production from microalgae, bioenergy, biotechnology, and clean energy, including graduate students, researchers, faculty, engineers, R&D, industry professionals, and policy makers.
