“…As with biodiesel production from oleaginous yeast, extraction methods for microalgae influence the energy demand of the process and also energy yield, as different extraction methods can be associated with different losses. In one study [53], the fossil energy use (NER) in production of biodiesel using microalgae varied between 0.36 and 3.33 MJ prim /MJ biodiesel, with the lower value for wet extraction and the higher for dry extraction.…”

“…The scarcity of natural resources and particularly the exhaustion of fossil fuels are a global challenge to be addressed in forthcoming decades [1][2][3] [5,13], some aspects of environmental sustainability, such as the energy balance or greenhouse gas emissions, are still liable to improve, especially for the use of microalgae for energy applications [3,5]. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has the potential to be used as a guiding tool for decision-making in process design [8,14]. LCA may contribute to identify the main bottlenecks to be addressed during the scale up towards sustainable industrial facilities.…”
