Abstract

Biodiesel derived from non-edible oil feedstock may one of the most emerging fields of energy production. Biodiesel, as a fuel, can be used for power production in transport, automobiles and for power generation sector without adversely affecting nature. Major objectives of current research are the effect of various forms of algae on production of green crude, comparison of methods for algae to biofuel conversion, selection of various parameters for green crude production. Algae biodiesel satisfied BS-IV emission norms. Green crude derived using slow pyrolyser gives 19 ml/100 g of green crude with 2500 °C flask temperature and with 50 °C cooling water temperature.
