1. Microalgae as the Third Generation Biofuel
... demand for daily and large-scale industrial usage. Biomass 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 ... in open ponds, therefore harvesting these biomass is less expensive (Chisti 2007). Since photobioreactors cannot release oxygen naturally...
