✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Algae have been attracting considerable attention as a source of biodiesel recently. This is largely due to the claimed high production potential of algal oils while circumventing the food vs. fuel issue. However, the properties of biodiesel fuels derived from algal oils have only been sparsely documented or discussed. This article discusses the expected properties of biodiesel derived from algal oils based on known fatty acid profiles.
