Abstract
Microalgae are a promising feedstock for renewable fuels. The production of renewable fuels from microalgae is still not profitable to justify its implementation on an industrial scale. However, reports indicate that the use of biochemical engineering approaches can improve these biofuels’ economic viability. Therefore, in this chapter, we provide an overview of biochemical engineering techniques for the enhanced production of microalgae-based fuels with a specific focus on biodiesel. The conventional techniques addressed include nutritional and physical stresses. More recent technological approaches, such as the two-stage cultivation, cultivation with phytohormones, and application of electromagnetic fields, are also covered.
