Process Economics and Greenhouse Gas Audit for Microalgal Biodiesel Production

摘要: With the current global drive towards a low-emission economy, countries need to take stance. For example, Australia, which is one of world’s largest polluters, has made commitment that before 2020 its overall emissions would be reduced by 5–15% below levels registered in year 2000. To realise these targets, processes capture carbon dioxide will prove critically important. One such emerging for microalgae cultivation and subsequent downstream biomass processing biodiesel production. This chapter entail engineering scale-up, economic analysis audit ascertain viability an industrial scale microalgal production plant. involve development model determine feasibility real large-scale Data from each process step (cultivation, dewatering, lipid extraction synthesis) presented individually integrated into framework.
