Some Papers Which May Be Useful

Posted by Bryan McCulloch

Biodiesel from algae: challenges and prospects
A paper which outlines all the things which should be considered when developing an algae bioreactor

Renewable fuels from algae: An answer to debatable land based fuels
A paper which compares algae biofuel production to that of 1st and 2nd generation biofuels

The economics of producing biodiesel from algae
A paper which gives an outline of costs for a (theoretical) large biodiesel refinery. Costing is done in US$

Commercialization potential of microalgae for biofuels production
A critical analysis of algae biofuel production and possibilities

Genetic engineering of algae for enhanced biofuel production
Paper which Stella posted earlier, which gives a good insight into the type of work which is being carried out into increasing oil reserves in the algae and other related ideas

Selection for fitness at the individual or population levels: Modelling effects of genetic modifications in microalgae on productivity and environmental safety
A paper which gives a theoretical model of genetically modified algae behaviour. The work is non-algae specific, i.e. just gives a general idea of what could happen, but is quite an interesting read
