Algal biomass as a global source of transport fuels: Overview and development perspectives

Effect of microalgae supplementation on the silage quality and anaerobic digestion performance of Manyflower silvergrass

“…Microalgae is drawing more and more attention recently because of the advantage of wastewater-cultivating, CO 2 -fixing and high-biomass-producing (Qin et al, 2014;Ullah et al, 2014). It has become one of the feedstock for anaerobic digestion in recent years and its reported specific methane yield was within the range of 50-1197 mL/g VS (Gonzalez-Fernandez et al, 2012;Ometto et al, 2014).…”

Biomass energy in Japan: Current status and future potential

“…Its production cost is less than wheat at $0.60 US per liter and its annual yield has the potential to be higher, between 6,800-8,000 L/Ha. [20], [21] High yield ratio [20] Absorbs CO2 [22] Does not compete with agricultural products [23], [24] Waste water [25], [26] 58,700 -136,900 [27] 0.27 [21] 9…”

“…It grows naturally in the water and at a faster rate than other than other conventional biofuels like corn, sunflower, and soybean [20], [21]. It also has a high yield ratio [20]. While growing, algae absorb CO2 from the atmosphere [22].…”

Conventional and advanced liquid biofuels

“…• biogoriva 2. generacije (kao što su celulozni etanol, sintetička BtL goriva, obnovljivi dizel, HTU dizel, i dr.) se prvenstveno povezuju za lignoceluloznu sirovinu, kao što su poljoprivredni ili šumski otpad ili ostaci, kao i ciljano gajene nejestive kulture (na primer, energetske trave i sl. ); ponekad se u ovu grupu sirovina za biogoriva 2. generacije eksplicitno svrstavaju i otpadna i druga nejestiva ulja i masnoće [28], mada neki autori biodizel dobijen od ovakvih lipidnih sirovina [29] svrstavaju u biogoriva 1. generacije, s obzirom da se dobija konvencionalnim procesom. Ipak, kako nejestiva ulja i masnoće dele zajedničku osobinu sa lignoceluloznom materijom da su nejestive, te ne utiču na sirovinsku osnovu za proizvodnju hrane, čini se da je svrstavanje biodizela dobijenog iz ovih sirovina u biogoriva 2. generacije opravdanije nego svrstavati ga u 1. generaciju;…”
