Abstract
This white paper summarizes the historical progress and perspectives on future opportunities for Combined Algae Processing (CAP), a conversion approach centered around fractionating microalgae biomass and producing a slate of fuels and products. We discuss the critical challenges associated with the commercialization of algal biofuels and demonstrate how the CAP approach is uniquely suited to overcome these barriers. The versatility of applying CAP to various sources of algae is highlighted along with conversion to various fuels and product options.
