Beskrivning

Microalgae Cultivation for Biofuels Production explores the technological opportunities and challenges involved in producing economically competitive algal-derived biofuel. The book discusses efficient methods for cultivation, improvement of harvesting and lipid extraction techniques, optimization of conversion/production processes of fuels and co-products, the integration of microalgae biorefineries to several industries, environmental resilience by microalgae, and a techno-economic and lifecycle analysis of the production chain to gain maximum benefits from microalgae biorefineries.

Provides an overview of the whole production chain of microalgal biofuels and other bioproducts
Presents an analysis of the economic and sustainability aspects of the production chain
Examines the integration of microalgae biorefineries into several industries
