1. 1. The POTENTIAL OF MICROALGAE TECHNOLOGY AT THE CEMENT INDUSTRY ON GOTLAND

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Vita Xu; [2021]
   Keywords : Sustainable Development; microalgae technology; algal biofuel; carbon capture; energy production;

   Abstract : Due to the increasing climate change concerns, biofuels have attracted more attention in the energy field as potential alternative energy sources. Particularly, microalgal biofuel has stood out because of its higher fuel yield potential and lower water and land demand than terrestrial biomass. READ MORE

3. 2. Multicriteria Site Suitability for Algal Biofuel Production Facilities

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Brendan O'Neill; [2018]
   Keywords : geography; GIS; advanced biofuels; algae; Florida; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The use of algae as a feedstock for the production of advanced biofuels has tremendous potential because of its short growth cycle, high productivity, lack of competition for agricultural lands, ability to use a variety of water sources and recycle CO2 and nutrient emissions, and compatibility with existing fuels chains with minimum process changes. However, to make significant contributions to biofuel targets, optimal locations must be identified to ensure production facilities are economically viable. READ MORE

4. 3. Comparison study of various current and potential liquid biofuels in road freight transport : Application on a case study on Transport Centralen in Halmstad

   University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskap

   Author : Ansu Alex; [2017]
   Keywords : Liquid biofuels; Heavy transports;

   Abstract : The role of liquid biofuels in transportation to minimize the effects of climate change is  evident and has led to a number of studies on finding effective solutions to replace fossil fuels. Liquid biofuels are especially important for heavy duty transports as the effective ‘green’ alternatives are not as many compared to light duty vehicles; for which for e. READ MORE

5. 4. Biodiesel and Hydrogen Production : A Study of Nostoc sp. in Pulp and Paper Wastewater

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

   Author : Duane Kimani; [2016]
   Keywords : Bioenergy; Hydrogen Production; Biodiesel; Cyanobacteria; Wastewater treatment;

   Abstract : The modernized world is over-consuming low-cost energy sources that strongly contributes to environmental stress. As a consequence, the interest for environmentally friendly alternatives has increased immensely. One such alternative is utilizing the diazotrophic nature of the heterocystous filamentous cyanobacteria Nostoc sp. READ MORE

6. 5. Impact of Using Macroalgae from the Baltic Sea in Biogas Production : A Review with Special Emphasis on Heavy Metals

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap, NV

   Author : Kristofer Bergström; [2012]
   Keywords : biogas; macroalgae; heavymetals; Trelleborg;

   Abstract : A consequence of eutrophication in the Baltic Sea is growth of algae that accumulates in the coastal areas and beaches. Dense algal mats may cause anoxia or hypoxia and greatly reduce the recreational value of the area. Algae also functions as hyper accumulators of heavy metals and their metal levels may become toxic to higher trophic levels. READ MORE
