Algae offer potential to produce renewable chemicals and fuels
using solar energy and carbon dioxide from atmosphere or in flue
gases while simultaneously reducing the generation of greenhouse
gases. Since these can be grown on marginal lands with
micronutrients and macronutrients often present in waste streams,
algae-based chemicals and fuels do not compete with foods. Still
large-scale production of algae-based fuels and chemicals faces
considerable technological and economical challenges and it would
by necessity require a biorefinery approach wherein all the
possible algal components are converted into value-added compounds.
The present series on algal biorefineries represents a forum for
reporting the state of the art of different technologies as well as
the latest advances in this field. The volume II of this series
complements the volume I in terms of the current state of the art.
Different chapters in this volume address diverse issues ranging
from genetically modifies algae to new products to life-cycle
analysis of algal products.
