Production of Biodiesel from Microalgae Collected from Ponds

Abstract

In this paper, authentic empirical informations on the production of biodiesel from different species of microalgae have been demonstrated after a series of extensive experimentations and research. Two different species of microalgae have been collected, isolated, cultured measuring their growth, harvested and finally biodiesel have been extracted from their biomass. Two process have been used in extraction of biodiesel from their biomass: wet extraction process and dewatering method. The result of these experiments have been depicted in lucid and cognitive interpretations. Also the contemporary context of biodiesel and the possibilities of microalgae in mitigating the forecoming global energy crisis have been composed.
