The use of fossil fuels is now widely accepted as unsustainable due to depleting resources
and the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the environment that have already exceeded …

The world energy crisis and increased greenhouse gas emissions have driven the search
for alternative and environmentally friendly renewable energy sources. According to life …

The present study aimed at investigating the carbon metabolism in terms of carbon dioxide
fixation and its destination in microalgae cultivations. To this purpose, analysis of growth …

The freshwater alga Chlorella, a highly productive source of starch, might substitute for
starch‐rich terrestrial plants in bioethanol production. The cultivation conditions necessary …

Starch and lipids are key components of algal cells and responsible for buffering variable
supplies of energy and carbon that are vital for cell growth and reproduction, particularly …

The worldwide growing demand for energy permanently increases the pressure on
industrial and scientific community to introduce new alternative biofuels on the global energy …

Climate change and rising atmospheric CO2 levels have become much debated
environmental issues in recent years. Point source emissions of CO2 from industrialised …

This review explains the potential use of the so-called “green coal” for biofuel production. A
comparison between microalgae and other crops is given, and their advantages are …

This review outlines the current status and recent developments in the technology of
microalgal culturing in enclosed photobioreactors. Light distribution and mixing are the …

Microalgal starch is a potential feedstock for biofuel production. The effects of KNO3 and
