Abstract:Algae-based fuels are being widely investigated in an effort to develop renewable and carbon-neutral bioenergy feedstocks. Despite this, there is little evidence that largescale algae cultivation can achieve carbon reductions relative to conventional, petroleumderived liquid fuels. This work explores a variety of systems-level aspects of algae-toenergy processes in an effort to understand the real potential of algae fuels to achieve deep reductions in carbon emissions. This work is both challenging and importa… Show more
