Preface
As the world takes steps to improve our energy security, biofuel sources are more important than ever. One of the energy vectors of the future is microalgae, small aquatic organisms that convert sunlight into biomolecules with high energy value. Scientists throughout the world are researching the best strains of microalgae and developing the most efficient processing practices. This book shows how energy is potentially produced from microalgae and converted into sustainable biofuels. Divided into fourteen parts, the book explores the microalgal production systems, process integration and process intensification applied to microalgal biofuels production, microalgae biorefineries for energy and coproducts production, life cycle assessment and exergy analysis of biofuels from microalgae, the bioeconomy of microalgal bio
