Algae-based pellets can achieve high energy densities comparable to or exceeding conventional biomass fuels.
“Studies have shown that these pellets can achieve high energy densities comparable to or exceeding conventional biomass fuels, underscoring their potential for bioenergy applications [124,125].”
From Algal-Based Carbonaceous Materials for Environmental Remediation: Advances in Wastewater Treatment, Carbon Sequestration, and Biofuel Applications (2025) · cites this paper as [125]
Miranda et al. produced Scenedesmus pellets with a density of 788 kg/m3 and an energy density of 14,165 MJ/m3, higher than industrial wood-based fuels around 11,000 MJ/m3, highlighting significant biofuel potential.

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.
