Abstract
Due to higher production capability of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins, microalgae are considered an alternative energy resource for biofuel production. Photo bioreactors that use light as an energy source for algal biomass can be used for the maximum production of metabolites. Hence, now it is very essential to design and develop new aspects of photo bioreactors for maximum biofuel production. Apart from the aforementioned criteria, the production cost of the bioreactor, uncontaminated algal biomass, type of photo bioreactor used, ease of using the reactor, low maintenance, and space convenience measures also play vital roles in the efficiency of the reactor. Thus, this chapter aims for a perceptive understanding of the production of biodiesel from algal biomass along with brief insights into different types of bioreactors used for biofuel production from algae.
