Microalgae Cultivation for Biofuels Production (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Yousuf, Abu

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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
