Algae: Plant to Bio-Fuel

Algae: Introduction of plant biofuel There are many discussions about the world's energy sources, and people are beginning to question doubts on our energy problems. Is it environmentally friendly? Whether it is economically meaningful. Over the years the world has been highly dependent on fossil fuels extracted from the ground. These fuels promote the modern conveniences of power plants, cars, plains, and many others. Large amounts of energy and many adverse effects are consumed for extraction and transport of these fuels.

Algae fuel, algal biofuel, or algal oil is a substitute for liquid fossil fuels that use algae as a source of energy-rich oil. In addition, algal fuel is well known as an alternative to biofuel sources such as corn and sugarcane. There are companies and government agencies that fund efforts to reduce capital and operational costs and make commercial production of algal fuel commercially feasible. Like fossil fuels, algae fuel releases carbon dioxide when burned, but unlike fossil fuels, when growing from algae or plants, it releases only carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere by photosynthesis. The energy crisis and the global food crisis have triggered interest in algae (agricultural algae) to use biodiesel and other biofuels on land not suitable for agriculture. Due to the high capital cost and operational cost, algae cost more per unit mass than other second generation biofuel crops, but argues that fuel production per unit area will increase 10 to 100 times

Algae fuels are biofuels derived from algae. During photosynthesis, algae and other photosynthetic organisms capture carbon dioxide and sunlight and convert it to oxygen and biomass. This is usually done by placing the alga between two glasses. Algae produces three forms of energy fuel: heat (from its growth cycle), biofuel (natural "oil" from algae), and biomass, which is from the algae itself as it is harvested at maturity. Heat can be used to power or generate energy for building systems such as heat treated water. Biofuels are oils that are extracted from algae at maturity and are used to produce energies similar to the use of biodiesel. Biomass is a substance that remains after extracting oil and water and can be harvested to produce combustible methane for energy production as well as methane collected from compost pile warm blankets and landfill biodegradable materials I will.

Certain plants produce hydrocarbons and are called petroleum plants. For example, Hevea Rubber Factory, Calotropis procera, Euphorbia lathyris etc. Certain kinds of algae are also very useful for the production of biofuels. Biological products such as plants and microorganisms have been modified by biotechnology and have since been used to produce high efficiency fuels such as biogas, bioethanol, biodiesel, biohydrogen. Microorganisms are very important for producing a wide range of substances in various industries. Microbial strains can be modified by biotechnology to obtain sufficient amounts of the desired product. For this purpose, microorganisms can be improved using genetic engineering (recombinant DNA technology).
