“…However, the use of readymade organic fuel binds robots to their production and distribution points, just as is the case with ordinary equipment and motor transport. An advantage of using biofuel is the possibility of its lean production, especially if the fuel is generated from algae biomass [13,59]. For the cultivation of microalgae, only light, water, carbon dioxide and a minimum amount of salts are necessary [13,60,61].…”

“…Such factories can be located far from major transport routes and can significantly improve mobility and economical efficiency of equipment application through the use of biofuels. Thus, a system with a closed photobioreactor with a capacity of 10 m 3 can provide up to from 2 to 5 kg of biodiesel over 5-7 days, depending on the microalgae strain [13,62]. A standard marine 40-foot High-cube type ISO (International Organization for Standardization)-container theoretically is able to house a photobioreactor with volume of 10-15 m 3 .…”

This paper presents the problem of application of modern developments in the field of bio-energy for the development of autonomous mobile robots' power sources. We carried out analysis of biofuel cells, gasification and pyrolysis of biomass. Nowadays, very few technologies in the bioenergy field are conducted with regards to the demands brought by robotics. At the same time, a number of technologies, such as biofuel cells, have now already come into use as a power supply for experimental autonomous mobile robots. The general directions for research that may help to increase the efficiency of power energy sources described in the article, in case of their use in robotics, are also presented.

“…With respect to microalgae, they have higher CO 2 fixation rates and growth rates than terrestrial plants. Additional advantage is that some microalgae can accumulate abundant amounts of oil (50-80% of dry biomass) [52,57]. Lee et al [50] and Jo et al [51] reported that lipase-catalyzed transesterification for DMC-based biodiesel production was performed using microalgae, Chlorella sp.…”

Due to the increasing emission of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), the development of fuels and chemicals based on renewable resources has attracted much attention. Bio-oil, as a carbon rich material, has been considered as a feedstock for biodiesel production. In conventional methanol-mediated transesterification of bio-oil for biodiesel production, significant amounts of glycerol are being generated as a byproduct. In order to overcome these issues, dimethyl carbonate (DMC) has been recently used as an alternative acyl acceptor to avoid the generation of glycerol. DMC is an environmentally-benign chemical reagent and reactive solvent due to safety, health, and environmental benefits. Moreover, DMC can be produced from CO 2 . Co-production of biodiesel and chemicals such as glycerol carbonate is possible as the concept of zero-waste utilization of bio-oil. Value-added chemicals can be synthesized using DMC as a reagent. This paper provides a review on the physical and chemical properties of DMC as a solvent, as well as the production methods for DMC. DMC-mediated production of various chemicals and fuels in both chemical and enzymatic processes are discussed together with their pros and cons.

“…Microalgae have been suggested as very good option for fuel production its advantages includes higher photosynthetic efficiency, higher biomass production and faster growth compared to other energy crops. In addition, the most important competitive advantage of the use of biodiesel from microalgae, is oil yields per unit area considerably higher than those obtained with oil crops [2], [3].…”

rEsumEnLa producción de biocombustibles y bioproductos utilizando microalgas puede realizarse con tratamientos térmicos para producir biocrudo, o mediante la extracción y transformación de metabolitos específicos. Esta última alternativa incluye las etapas de cultivo, cosecha, secado, extracción de lípidos y purificación o transformación de los mismos. La factibilidad técnica y económica de la obtención de bioproductos derivados del aceite de microalgas depende en gran medida de la eficiencia de extracción de los lípidos. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es establecer una metodología para la disrupción celular y extracción soxhlet de aceite de microalgas, y determinar su efectividad en tres cepas nativas; Amphiprora, Desmodesmus y Tetraselmis. Se evaluó el efecto de distintos métodos de disrupción celular como MSA, MHA, HA4M Fast, y HA0.5M Slow, solventes como hexano, ciclohexano y metanol, y tiempos de extracción de 4,6 y 8 horas, sobre la cantidad de aceite extraído. La mayor eficiencia de extracción se obtuvo utilizando disrupción celular MSA. El mejor solvente fue hexano y el mejor tiempo de extracción fue de 8 horas.Palabras clave: biodiesel a partir de microalgas, disrupción celular, extracción soxhlet.
