_Handbook of Algal Biofuels: Aspects of Cultivation, Conversion and
Biorefinery_ comprehensively covers the cultivation, harvesting,
conversion, and utilization of microalgae and seaweeds for different
kinds of biofuels. The book addresses four main topics in the algal
biofuel value-chain. First, it explores algal diversity and
composition, covering micro- and macroalgal diversity, classification,
and composition, their cultivation, biotechnological applications,
current use within industry for biofuels and value-added products, and
their application in CO2 sequestration, wastewater treatment, and
water desalination. Next, the book addresses algal biofuel production,
presenting detailed guidelines and protocols for different production
routes of biodiesel, biogas, bioethanol, biobutanol, biohydrogen, jet
fuel, and thermochemical conversation methods. Then, the authors
discuss integrated approaches for enhanced biofuel production. This
includes updates on the recent advances, breakthroughs, and challenges
of algal biomass utilization as a feedstock for alternative biofuels,
process intensification techniques, life cycle analysis, and
integrated approaches such as wastewater treatment with CO2
sequestration using cost-effective and eco-friendly techniques. In
addition, different routes for waste recycling for enhanced biofuel
production are discussed alongside economic analyses. Finally, this
book presents case studies for algal biomass and biofuel production
including BIQ algae house, Renewable Energy Laboratory project,
Aquatic Species Program, and the current status of algal industry for
biofuel production.
_Handbook of Algal Biofuels_ offers an all-in-one resource for
researchers, graduate students, and industry professionals working in
the areas of biofuels and phycology and will be of interest to
engineers working in renewable energy, bioenergy, alternative fuels,
biotechnology, and chemical engineering. Furthermore, this book
includes structured foundational content on algae and algal biofuels
for undergraduate and graduate students working in biology and life
sciences.
