Abstract

Combustion of diesel releases greenhouse gases which results in global warming and also leads to air pollution. Several respiratory problems and chronic diseases are connected with diesel exhaust exposure. Looking for a stand-in that has less impact on the environment as well as human health biofuels is a great choice. Biofuels fall into the heading of renewable energy which holds dominance over diesel, depleting non-renewable energy at a time when there is a continuous surge in fuel consumption due to a climb in energy demand. The surge in energy demand can be fulfilled by biofuels. The biggest downside of edible and non-edible biofuels is land usage and low yield. Quick growth, high lipid content, and excellent yield make algae a substitute for biofuel production in contrast with non-edible and edible biofuels. Overview of algal types, various stages that are involved in biodiesel extraction from algae, and its impact on the CI engine are presented.
