Bio-Fuels Algae: An Alternative Renewable Energy Source (A Review Paper)
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Biodiesel is an alternative fuel for conventional diesel that is made from natural plant oils, animal fats, and waste cooking oils. The different methods of producing biodiesel fuel from algae grown in raceway open and artificial automotive close circuit ponds. There is potential for large-scale production of biodiesel from algal farms in photo bioreactor. Harvesting of algae followed different cleaning and separation operations, extracting the oil and converting the oil from algae to biodiesel via transesterification reactions are the primary driving force for algae to fuels technology development. This paper presents an updated technology of the production and different optimize conditions that could have a profound effect on the success of this important alternative fuel production process
