Mar. 21, 2013 — Dinoflagellate microalgae
could be used as a raw material to obtain biodiesel easily and
profitably. This is the conclusion of a study led by Universitat
Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) scientists, in collaboration with the
Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), published recently in Biomass
and Bioenergy.
Their study shows that one type of marine algae that has received little
attention till now -- dinoflagellate microalgae -- is highly suitable
for cultivation with the aim of producing biodiesel.
Among these adjustments, scientists highlight the possibility of reusing leftover organic pulp (the glycerol and protein pulp that is not converted into biodiesel) and using air pumps and more efficient cultivation materials.
