Biofuel Production Technology from Bioenergy Crop-Algae Biofuel

Abstract

The constantly rising population and heavy load on agriculture lands for increasing commercial crops the large scale and economically viable biofuel production on land seems a challenge to meet the huge and increasing global energy demand. The use of bioenergy crops for generating biofuels is are cent concept and full of potentials. Algae shows promising results in becoming source for biofuel. It considered as sustainable, renewable and effective biomass and bio-fuels and to fulfil the high biomass demands for biofuel production, it is pivotal importance to develop feasible technologies to enable economic, efficient and high density cultivation of algae. Algae can be cultivated in either open or closed systems in the presence of nutrients and light intensity Algal biomass is used in the production of biofuels like biodiesel, bioethanol, bio-butanol and bio-hydrogen etc.
