Abstract

The chapter describes the current state of the art regarding the possibility of production of biofuels from algae, indicates potential benefits arising from their use as well as the methods of acquiring the algae biomass on an industrial scale. The latest technologies employed to process the algae biomass into biofuels, such as biodiesel, biogas or bioethanol is presented. The paper describes also the potential effect of industrial algae production on the environment. It points to specific factors, i.e. water management, supply of carbon dioxide and nutrients as those that may limit the possibilities in terms of design and implementation of the system on a large scale.
