This book provides in-depth information on basic and applied
aspects of biofuels production from algae. It begins with an
introduction to the topic, and follows with the basic scientific
aspects of algal cultivation and its use for biofuels production,
such as photo bioreactor engineering for microalgae production,
open culture systems for biomass production and the economics of
biomass production. It provides state-of-the-art information on
synthetic biology approaches for algae suitable for biofuels
production, followed by algal biomass harvesting, algal oils as
fuels, biohydrogen production from algae, formation/production of
co-products, and more. The book also covers topics such as
metabolic engineering and molecular biology for algae for fuel
production, life cycle assessment and scale-up and
commercialization. It is highly useful and helps you to plan new
research and design new economically viable processes for the
production of clean fuels from algae.
Covers in a comprehensive but concise way most of the algae biomass
conversion technologies currently availableLists all the products
produced from algae, i.e. biohydrogen, fuel oils, etc., their
properties and potential usesIncludes the economics of the various
processes and the necessary steps for scaling them up
