Human Utilization of Algal Biomass from Spirulina

Artificial use of algal biomass from Spirulina In a paper published at the National Agricultural Library entitled "Spirulina: Future Foods" published in 1988, it was suggested that Spirulina can be used in many different ways. For cultivating a small village, more basic uses (2) such as food supply for future space travel, and animal feed, fish pigment strengthening, health supplements etc. In recent years, much research has been done on various aspects of this microalga miracle.

NREL is developing a new process option to reduce the cost of algae biofuel production by using algae biomass more comprehensively. We have developed a low cost, low energy approach to decomposing algal biomass to upgrade lipids, carbohydrates, proteins to biofuels and bio products. We identify high value product portfolios and ultimately conduct detailed ingredient analysis to quantify the biomass value of various conversion or upgrade pathways. Based on the potential total revenue per ton, we are planning to establish a value-added standard for new algal biomass. As with the concept of replacing all barrels of crude oil with renewable substitutes, we have selected a bio-derived chemical that could replace petrochemicals, ie the production choice of a market that occupies a highly valuable and sufficiently large market Study. Influence the cost of biofuel production

Our team is committed to coordinating the development of standard analytical procedures for characterization of algal biomass. For this purpose, we are leading the research and development of a new method for defining and describing the main components of algal biomass. Standard biochemical analysis methods can be downloaded for free online. Algae biomass organization is continuing the basis of analysis of microalgae components by distributing industrial algae measurement file (now version 7.0). More information can be found on the Algae Biomass Organization website where IAM documents can be downloaded.
