Effects of Fluctuating Environments on the Selection of High Yielding Microalgae: Final Report

Effects of Fluctuating Environments on the Selection of High Yielding Microalgae: Final Report

Research output: NREL › Subcontract Report

Abstract

Microalgae have the potential of producing biomass with a high content of lipids at high productivities using seawater or saline ground water resources. Microalgal lipids are similar to vegetable oils and suitable for processing to liquid fuels. Engineering cost analysis studies have concluded that, at a favorable site, microalgae cultivation for fuel production could be economically viable. Themajor uncertainties involve the microalgae themselves: biomass and lipid productivity and culture stability.
