Summary
The utilization of fossil fuel contributes a significant fraction of greenhouse gas to the troposphere. Now, rigorous research initiatives are carried out to find out the alternative sources to fossil fuels, which will be sustainable and can be commercialized to meet the market demand. In this situation, the biofuel obtained from renewable sources is the only alternative in global economy from a sustainable point of view. The biofuel cannot be produced from crop grains as it may create a scarcity of food worldwide. The biofuel derived from algae is a proper alternative to fossil fuels, however the technology adopted must be modified in order to overcome the demerits associated with it to compete with the fuel market. This chapter elaborates on the details of the algae cultivation methodology, benefits of the use of algae as a source of biofuel production, challenges associated with it, and the impact of microalgae on the environment.
