Description: Algal biofuels are renewable energy sources derived from algae, which can be converted into biodiesel or bioethanol. These algae, which can be both microalgae and macroalgae, are photosynthetic organisms that have the ability to capture carbon dioxide and convert it into biomass. This biomass can be processed to produce fuels that are more sustainable compared to traditional fossil fuels. One of the most notable features of algal biofuels is their high efficiency in converting sunlight into chemical energy, allowing them to grow rapidly and produce large amounts of oil. Additionally, their cultivation does not compete directly with food agriculture, as they can be grown in non-potable water and on non-arable land. This makes them an attractive option for mitigating climate change and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. In a global context where the search for sustainable energy alternatives is increasingly urgent, algal biofuels emerge as a promising solution that combines technological innovation and environmental sustainability.
