It also reviews modern biomass-based transportation fuels, including biodiesel, bio-oil, biomethane and biohydrogen. Each chapter opens with fundamental explanations suitable for those with a general interest in algae energy and goes on to provide in-depth scientific details for more expert readers. Algae Energy is discussed within the wider context of green energy, with chapters covering topics such as green energy facilities; algae technology; energy from algae; and biodiesel from algae.--COVER.
