From Microalgae to Biofuel: Promises and Challenges of the Hydrothermal Liquefaction Pathway

Short Introductive summary

The RafBioAlg project (ANR 18-CE43-0009) had the ambitions to improve the hydrothermal liquefaction microalgae biofuel pathway in all economic, energetic and environmental aspects, from the microalgae culture to the biofuel upgrading. Two different strains were tested, a carbohydrate-rich microalgae strain, Chlorella sorokiniana NIES 2173 and a lipid-rich microalgae strain, Chlorella vulgaris NIES 227. The latter gave the best results in term of HTL bio-oil yield, upgrading performances and global life cycle assessment.
