Factors to Consider in #Algal-Strain Selection for Commercial Manufacture of #Biofuels and Co-Products by Pierre Wensel in BJSTR

Abstract

Commercialization of algal-based processes for #biofuels and #co-products is constrained upstream during #cultivation by low productivity, contamination by invasive species, unsustainable and inefficient supply of nutrients (e.g. #nitrogen and #phosphorous), #inorganiccarbon, and water, exposure to environmental factors, and limited available land acreage for inoculum and primary cultures. It is also constrained downstream by costly and inefficient harvesting, product extraction, #thermochemicalconversion, #hydrotreatment, and upgrading. Overcoming these obstacles to commercialization requires not just piecemeal incremental improvements, but rather a comprehensive and fundamental re-consideration regarding the selected algae and its associated cultivation, #harvesting, biomass conversion, and refinement. Factors pertaining to algal-strain selection for commercial operations are presented below.
