Abstract

Thermochemical strategies are being operated for the entire conversion of numerous biomasses to biofuels. Among the feedstocks used for thermochemical processes, algae are the promising biomass sources owing to their benefits over different feedstocks such as biomass productivity, renewability and sustainability. Due to a number of advantages, algal biomass is regarded as a supply for 1/3 era biofuel. This overview work targets to supply a modern day on the most oftentimes used thermochemical techniques specifically Torre faction, pyrolysis, and gasification processes. Furthermore, the manufacturing of biofuels from algal biomass used to be comprehensively articulated. Different algal lines used in thermochemical strategies and their stipulations of operation have been in contrast and discussed.
