THERMAL CONVERSION OF ALGAE INTO BIOENERGY A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF PROCESSES AND PROSPECTS

The growing demand for renewable energy sources has prompted the investigation of algae as a possible feedstock for bioenergy production. This study looks into the thermochemical conversion of algal biomass into bioenergy using a variety of techniques, including pyrolysis, gasification, and hydrothermal liquefaction. Temperature, residence time, and catalysts were investigated for their effects on bio oil yield and composition, as well as syngas and biochar.
