“Microalgal Biofuels for a Greener Earth: A Review"

Biotechnology

To solve the environmental and socio-economic issues that fossil fuels present, the move to sustainable energy sources is crucial. Microalgal biofuels, considering their high yields, rapid expansion, and non-competitive land use, offer a possible answer. This review examines the production methods, environmental advantages, and socioeconomic effects of microalgal biofuels. We review techniques for cultivation, harvesting, extraction, and conversion, highlighting developments that enhance productivity and scalability. Microalgal biofuels are more sustainable, productive, and have the potential to sequester carbon than first- and second-generation biofuels. The use of biofuels can help reduce the moral and environmental problems caused by lithium mining for batteries for electric vehicles. Microalgal biofuels help to fulfil global climate commitments by utilising current infrastructure and cutting emissions, thus paving the way for a more ethical and environmentally friendly energy future. This analysis emphasises how important microalgal biofuels are to developing sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels and promoting renewable energy options.
