This research aims to investigate the literature review on the extraction of algae oil, production of algae methyl ester(AME) biodiesel and the effect of microalgae biodiesel on the performance, combustion and exhaust emissions of diesel engine. The study dealt with researchers who published their reports between 2006 and 2020. Researches now concentrate on renewable energies, and biodiesel is one of those renewable energy sources. Biodiesel is a fuel similar to diesel and has many positive aspects such as quality, renewable energy, lower exhaust emissions and greater lubricity. In addition to the use of microalgae in the production of fuels, they are used in reducing CO2 of the atmosphere which in turn results in better air quality to breathe and cleaner environment. Many researchers have paid attention to produce biodiesel derived from microalgae that represents one of the oldest living creatures on the globe. However, by comparing with diesel, it has some drawbacks like lower heat content, higher density, viscosity, and NOx emissions. Optimization strategies is still recommended to fight the side effects of using biodiesel instead of original diesel fuel.

“…However, the kinematic viscosity was measured at 40 °C using ASTM D445. 41,42 Among various properties, kinematic viscosity, density, and calorific value are the most crucial properties as per the need of polanga biodiesel blends as an alternate fuel. The physicochemical properties of test fuel are shown in Table 1.…”

The exhaustive and irresponsible use of fossil fuels has created numerous public and environmental health issues in the past few decades. To address this issue, this work has investigated the use of polanga ( Calophyllum inophyllum) biodiesel/diesel blends in a diesel engine. This study focuses primarily on the optimization of performance and emission characteristics of a diesel engine fuelled with polanga-based biodiesel blends. The engine input factors were also investigated for desired optimal thermal performance. In this study, four input parameters, namely, engine loads, blends of polanga-based biodiesel, fuel injection pressure, and fuel injection timing were chosen for analysis. The corresponding engine output responses, namely, brake thermal efficiency, CO, NOx, and smoke emissions, are selected for their optimization by Taguchi method and response surface methodology. The results show that the best setting of above-mentioned input factors is reported at 44% engine load, 13% mixing of polanga biodiesel with diesel, 180 bar injection pressure of fuel, and 21.5 °bTDC injection timing of fuel. The comparison between results obtained by the optimization process and experimental results showed that the deviations were always found to be within the acceptable range of errors.

“…Lower CO 2 emissions were reported for biodiesel produced from nettlespurge (Jatropha), oil palm, rape, and algae compared to diesel oil [41,42]. Another study demonstrated an increased CO 2 concentration in exhaust gases emitted during the combustion of biodiesel from microalgae [43]. Additionally, Namitha et al showed higher CO 2 emissions from biodiesel synthesized from Monoraphidium sp.…”

The priority faced by energy systems in road transport is to develop and implement clean technologies. These actions are expected to reduce emissions and slow down climate changes. An alternative in this case may be the use of biodiesel produced from microalgae. However, its production and use need to be justified economically and technologically. The main objective of this study was to determine the emissions from an engine powered by biodiesel produced from the bio-oil of Chlorella protothecoides cultured with different methods, i.e., using a pure chemical medium (BD-ABM) and a medium based on the effluents from an anaerobic reactor (BD-AAR). The results obtained were compared to the emissions from engines powered by conventional biodiesel from rapeseed oil (BD-R) and diesel from crude oil (D-CO). The use of effluents as a medium in Chlorella protothecoides culture had no significant effect on the properties of bio-oil nor the composition of FAME. In both cases, octadecatrienoic acid proved to be the major FAME (50% wt/wt), followed by oleic acid (ca. 22%) and octadecadienoic acid (over 15%). The effluents from UASB were found to significantly reduce the biomass growth rate and lipid content of the biomass. The CO2 emissions were comparable for all fuels tested and increased linearly along with an increasing engine load. The use of microalgae biodiesel resulted in a significantly lower CO emission compared to the rapeseed biofuel and contributed to lower NOx emission. Regardless of engine load tested, the HC emission was the highest in the engine powered by diesel. At low engine loads, it was significantly lower when the engine was powered by microalgae biodiesel than by rapeseed biodiesel.
