Biomass, Biofuels and Biochemicals: Biofuels from Algae, Second Edition provides
information on strategies for commercial microalgae based biofuel
production, including their cultivation, pre-treatment and conversion
methods. The book discusses methods for producing microalgal biomass in
large scale by outdoor culturing and outlines new technologies for their
use. In addition, it explains how modern genetic engineering enables
the generation of recombinant strains that generate higher quantities of
feedstock. The complete utilization of microalgal biomass, which can
also be obtained from valorizing nutrients from wastewater and
industrial exhaust gases, can be efficiently converted to energy rich
biofuels and high value pharmaceuticals in a well-defined biorefinery.
- Includes the current technologies for the cultivation and conversion of energy rich microalgal biomass into biofuels
- Provides information on all the conversion methods – biochemical and thermochemical conversions
- Covers
other high value products from microalgae and less conventional
applications, such as fine chemical production and aviation fuel
generation
- Discusses the economics of microalgal biofuel production and how to accomplish cost competitive results
