Abstract

Algae harvest energy conversion to biofuel technology is a promising alternative to fossil fuel that has inherent pollution attachment. With present resources available for the microalgae mass production and hence, high oil yield, microalgal can sufficiently be a new source of renewable energy to replace the fossil fuels. In this chapter, algae description, composition, cultivation, its conversion to biofuel, and commercial prospects and problems are presented.
