碩士 / 大葉大學 / 工學院碩士在職專班 / 99 / Exhaustion of fossil energy and global warming are the main issues of the word.
Sustainable energy sources are required in the near future as solutions to these two
issues. Microalgae, one of sustainable energy sources, can be used to produce
biodiesel by utilizing carbon dioxide as the carbon source. Cultivation of microalgae
as a potential technology for both sustainable energy and mitigation of carbon dioxide
has gained attention from the Governments researchers and enterprisers. In this report,
a survey of microalgal technology for the production of biodiesel was conducted to
conclude the new developments and bottle necks by analyzing reports and research
papers.
It has been shown by researchers that the growth rate of microalga and the oil
content of its biomass are much higher than those of energy crops. However, more
improvements are required to lower cost for the implementation of microalga
cultivation system and to overcome some technical bottle necks. Combined with
solutions to environmental issues such as mitigation of carbon dioxide and byproducts
of microalgal biomass, the usage of microalgae as biodiesel can be a promising way
for renewable energy source. Owing to the population and the limited land in Taiwan,
cultivation systems for the production of microalgal biodiesel could be designed and
implemented in the sea near the seashore. Development of a vertical structure of
photobioreactor is required to maximize the microalgal oil in a limited area. It is
expected to provide a part of energy souce and to protect enevironment with the
improvement in microalgal technology for microalgal biodiesel.
