Biodiesel production from microalgae: A comprehensive review on influential factors, transesterification processes, and challenges
Open accessAbstract
The impending depletion of fossil fuels has sparked a global hunt for non-conventional energy sources such as biofuels. Biofuels such as biodiesel can be produced using third-generation feedstock viz., microalgae. It has gained huge attention as it has the potential to achieve the goals of sustainable development. Biodiesel production using microalgae depends upon the microalgal biomass availability and the amount of neutral lipid accumulated inside them. Biomass productivity and lipid accumulation vary from species to species but in general, are influenced by cultivation conditions (mode and method of cultivation) and growth parameters such as nutrients and environmental factors (light, temperature, pH, aeration, and photoperiod). Lipid extracted from microalgae is transesterified into biodiesel. This review discusses several factors, viz., pre-treatment methods, extraction methods, and transesterification processes that influence the quality and quantity of biodiesel production from microalgae. Explaining the difference between direct and indirect transesterification processes, the review elucidates the roles of catalyst(s) in the transesterification process and FAME production. It further discusses about the cost and challenges associated with each step of biodiesel production from microalgae.

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.
