Biogas from microalgae
Autor: Ahmed Mahdy-Instituto IMDEA Energía Among all benefits that microalgae exhibit, biofuels production is a promising option to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. Microalgae can provide different types of renewable biofuels such as biodiesel, biohydrogen, bioethanol and biomethane via chemical or biological reactions. Nevertheless, one of the barriers to develop microalgae sustainable energy production is the breakdown of the rigid cell wall that prevents an efficient conversion (Fig.1, [1]). Therefore, cell wall disruption is considered a major hurdle to…
