More recently, lipid-rich microalgae have emerged as a promising solution, with UAEU researchers spearheading efforts to utilize this abundant resource. Producing biodiesel from microalgae is ...
As photosynthetic organisms, microalgae convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to their own oil, which is then converted to biodiesel through existing refining processes (Figure 3).
They take the CO2 produced by a cement plant in Jerez de la Frontera in Spain and "feed" it to microalgae which then turn around and produce biodiesel. The results of this project will be tested ...
