Abstract

Abstract:

Microalgae are more adaptable and photosynthetic than terrestrial oil crops, and have important applications in carbon dioxide emission reduction, water pollution control and bio-based jet fuels. In this paper, the influencing factors of large scale cultivation of microalgae for energy production are summarized. Firstly, four aspects including biological factors, climate factors, technological factors and site selection factors are introduced, and the development status of land, water resources and new technology for microalgae cultivation are mainly introduced. Moreover, the technical difficulties and obstacles in large scale cultivation of microalgae are put forward. On the basis, the problems and challenges faced by the development of microalgae-based biofuels are analyzed in terms of Chinese conditions, and potential production capacity and suitable areas for energy microalgae cultivation in China are discussed. Furthermore, the development of microalgae-based biofuels in China is also prospected.

Key words: microalgae, biofuel, water resource, technical economy
