Experimental studies on a two-step fast pyrolysis-catalytic hydrotreatment process for hydrocarbons from microalgae (Nannochloropsis gaditana and Scenedesmus almeriensis)
Did you know that microalgae could also become a new source of energy? An interesting paper from Neil Priharto and the team revealed the potential use of microalgae for bio-based hydrocarbons production, an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels and renewable drop-in chemicals.
