Abstract
Algal biofuels are considered a possible source of renewable energy. The combination of microalgal cultivation and biofuel production using a biorefinery approach is projected to dramatically increase the overall cost effectiveness of biofuel production. Technological advances—including optimization of crop conditions, safeguarding algal crops from predators, microalgal biomass harvesting, and other downstream processing technologies—are important and can lead to improved cost effectiveness. Therefore, this chapter will focus on algal-based biofuel and potential challenges, including the crop protection from potential predators, the effect of various medium contents on biomass yield, and cost-effective algal harvesting and future perspectives as well. Since, the minimizing of the costs of biofuel production from microalgal biomass is effective away to attract the commercial application. In conclusion, the chapter provides algal farmers with promising strategies to overcome some potential challenges that limit the economic production of biofuels as clean energy.
