Biofuel Production through Algae Route using Solar Assisted Carbon Capture Plant

Abstract

Abstract In present scenario when there is great hike in energy demand which results in increased prices of petroleum products and the big matter of concern is that the resources are diminishing so rapidly, these diminishing fuels should be replaced by biofuels. Other sources of biofuels are limited and difficult to cultivate therefore microalgae has comes out as an important source of renewable biofuel. Microalgae grow in the presence of sunlight and CO2, and those rich in lipids are excellent source of biofuels (biodiesel) after processing. The present study was aimed at production of biofuel through microalgae route using carbon capture pilot plant and exploring feasibility of scaling-up of bio-fuel production on a mega scale coal fired thermal power plant through analysis and selection of species that can grow in ash-pond area on mass scale.
