1. Microalgae as the Third Generation Biofuel
... provide sustainable feedstocks to generate energy; and this paper specifically presents the potential of microalgae as the third generation biofuel feedstock. Microalgae essentially processes sun light and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and sugars through photosynthesis, in order to generate energy for growth. They have simple structure, fast reproduction, high oil content and ability to grow ... photobioreactors cannot release oxygen naturally to the atmosphere, oxygen must be systematically removed through air exchange in the tubes. Otherwise, oxygen will accumulate and damage the a...
