Feedstock for biodiesel production has changed over time and it varies depending on regions. Reports journal articles feedstock resources the last decade from 2006 to 2016 were reviewed in this article. The regional trends still maintain as USA EU predominantly use soybean oil rapeseed oil, respectively, palm is major source of Asia. It expected that food‐crop based will continue be dominant next decade. However, was found uses animal fats used cooking are increasing both EU. Because...
We demonstrate a facile and simple method for the direct conversion of microalgae biomass into organic acids via self-anaerobic metabolism in dark (autofermentation). This one-step does not require use additional catalysts (chemicals or enzymes), occurs at ambient temperature, uses wet as feed. studied effect pH, salinity, concentration on acid yield, rate fermentation, ability to ferment free sugars amended feedstocks. Our results show that when autofermentation was performed extreme...
