- Abstract
Renewable energy sources are an alternative for many countries because of depletion of oil resources, requirements of environmental protection and independence from external energy suppliers. Currently, first-generation biodiesel production has been struggling with the problem of insufficient amount of vegetable oil and limited crop area. The promising alternative can be oleaginous microorganisms the productivity of which exceeds hundreds of times the productivity of plants. This paper presents the potential possibilities of the synthesis of lipids by microalgae and the use of algae oil in the industrial production of biodiesel. The attention is focused on the unique biochemical characteristics of microalgae, biomass production systems and the properties of obtained oil and biodiesel.
