Description

<p>Biofuel made from microalgal biomass have been attracting attention as renewable fuels. However, a significant reduction of oil production cost as well as an establishment of a stable supply system is required for an activation of algae biofuel industry. Production process of microalgae fuel can be divided into five major processes, cultivation (algal biomass production), harvesting of microalgal cells (including dehydration), oil extraction, reforming and refining. Technology developments of each process are required to reduce the production cost. Here, we review the advantages of “attached cultivation system”, which is recently attracting attention as an efficient next generation biomass production system for microalgae, after reviewing the status and essential problems of the current biomass/biodiesel production systems. We also introduce our recent studies on the isolation and selection of microalgae suitable for biomass/biodiesel production using attached culture system.</p>
