Dewatering Chlorella Algae through Carbon Dioxide Hydrate Formation

“…4 Algal biofuels are of interest for their net neutral carbon footprint, fast growth rate, option to produce different types of fuel, and ability to be grown in wastewater. 5 Microalgae have been found to have average oil levels between 20 and 50% by dry mass. 6 In addition, as microalgae are not a major food source for humans, their use as fuel offers no threat to the food supply.…”

Greening India's Fuel: Bacillus Velezensis Daa1, a Game-Changer in Sustainable Lipid Synthesis for Bioenergy

“…Notably, they exhibit no contribution to the greenhouse effect and result in reduced carbon emissions (Demirbas, 2007). Biodiesel, is typically produced via the transesterification reaction involving biomass-derived acylglycerols, a catalyst, and a short-chain alcohol (e.g., methanol or ethanol) (Neeti et al, 2023).Primary biofuel resources use unprocessed organic matter as fuel, while secondary biofuel resources convert a wide variety of biomasses, such as edible and non-edible plant materials and microbial agents (Leong et al, 2018). In India, around 32% of the country's primary energy is derived from biomass sources, a form of energy that is utilized by nearly 70% of the population.…”
