In AD, all organic carbon is utilised rather than specific sub-sources such as oil for biodiesel, hence biogas systems tend to yield more energy per hectare than liquid biofuel systems.
“In addition, all the organic carbon is utilised rather than specific sub-sources such as oil for biodiesel formation, hence biogas systems tend to yield more energy per hectare than liquid biofuel systems [82].”

Biogas yields from digestion of many algae are substantially below the theoretical maximum and typically <50% of that from common commercial feedstocks, while BMP varies across species between 19-81% of theoretical yields.

Squalene, a well-known precursor for plant sterols, is synthesised by squalene synthase, and this appears to also play a role in the production of botryococcenes, with which they share many structural similarities.
“Squalene, a well-known precursor for plant sterols, is synthesised by squalene synthase, and this appears to also play a role in the production of botryococcenes, with which they share many structural similarities (Figure 9, structure III) [82].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
