The potential of algae as biofuel feedstock
Interest in algae as a potential biofuel feedstock stems from two features observed in naturally occurring strains. Firstly, many algae are remarkably efficient at photosynthesis, converting up to 6% of incident solar energy into biomass. The theoretical limit for photosynthesis is about 11% of incident sunlight[1], whereas most crops achieve less than 1%, and even… Read more »
