Microalgae Cultivation for Biofuels Production Summary

Microalgae Cultivation for Biofuels Production by Abu Yousuf (Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering and Polymer Science, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Bangladesh)

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.
