“…The combustion and emission characteristics of fuel determine the engine performance, and the environmental impact of such engine [10,102]. Therefore, with all the stringent global emission regulation, it has become mandatory to combine both characteristics in order to evaluate fuel quality under operating conditions [103].…”

An algal feedstock or biomass may contain a very high oil fraction, and thus could be used for the production of advanced biofuels via different conversion processes. Its major advantage apart from its large oil fraction is the ability to convert almost all the energy from the feedstock into different varieties of useful products. In the research to displace fossil fuels, algae feedstock has emerged as a suitable candidate not only because of its renewable and sustainable features but also for its economic credibility based on the potential to match up with the global demand for transportation fuels. Cultivating this feedstock is very easy and could be developed with little or even no supervision, with the aid of wastewater not suitable for human consumption while absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere. The overall potential for algae applications generally shows that this feedstock is still an untapped resource, and it could be of huge commercial benefits to the global economy at large because algae exist in millions compared to terrestrial plants. Algae applications are evident for everyday consumption via foods products, non-foods products, fuel, and energy. Biofuels derived from algae have no impact on the environment and the food supply unlike biofuels produced from crops. However, any cultivation method employed could control the operating cost and the technicalities involved, which will also influence the production rate and strain. The scope of this paper is to review the current status of algae as a potential feedstock with diverse benefit for the resolution of the global energy demand, and environmental pollution control of GHG.

“…Large-scale production of microalgal products (biomass, biofuel) encounters a number of technological issues and challenges that lead to problematic questions and unclear answers, mostly by economists [27]. The selection of a proper strain (genus) of microalgae, a suitable cultivation method, and selected culture conditions as well as the chemical composition have a huge influence on the costs of production and technology [28]. However, our research results have shown that the high methane yields (0.9143 m 3 /kg DM) obtained in the anaerobic digestion of Acutodesmus dimorphus (Turpin) P. Tsarenko predict that the use of microalgal biomass seems to be promising and has a huge prospect in the future of bioenergy.…”

It is only a matter of time for when fossil fuels will not be accessible at low cost, which is the major reason why it is obligatory for researchers to find an alternative feedstock to replace the currently stable position of fossil fuels in the world. The objective of this study was to review the potential of green microalgae Acutodesmus dimorphus (Turpin) P. Tsarenko, which can become the replacement for the commonly used raw materials for anaerobic digestion. Recent scientific focus has targeted the research of alternative renewable energy sources. Green microalgae are the alternative raw material for generating bioenergy due to high photosynthetic efficiency. Many modern solutions for cultivation systems of microalgae, maintenance, and harvesting techniques are currently under development all over the world. It is necessary to find the proper technology for algae cultivation and that will deal with all environmental and economic issues. The innovative process can provide the prerequisite scale for increasing commercial use of bioenergy from microalgae. The interim research results presented in this study show that microalgae are a suitable alternative material for biogas production in the method of anaerobic fermentation.

In the days to come Algae is going to be everything. Wonders would be created using algae. Scientists predict that, from the oxygen that we inhale to the electricity that we use, algae would be the source of energy in the future. were prepared and nominated as MME10D90, MME20D80 and MME30D70. Experiment was conducted on single cylinder four stroke diesel engine and the experimental results were revealed that, at full load condition with MME30D70 the BTE and BSFC were improved by 14.09% and 7.69% respectively, CO and UHC emissions were reduced by 71.97%, and 15.56% respectively but, NO X was increased by 11.58% as compared with diesel fuel and smoke was reduced by 10.36%. Researchers said that, Algae could be a possible answer to the problems that the world would face in the future. Now biodiesel produced from algae is getting ready to address the fuel crisis. The present work deals with the utilization of Microalgae biodiesel to evaluate the performance, emission and combustion characteristics of compression ignition engine. Microalgae methyl ester (MME) was produced from crude microalgae oil derived from chlorella vulgaries using transesterification process. Various blends
