Hydrocracked green diesel is more capital intensive, transesterified costs more in terms of operations (strictly my own calculations). But biodiesel is EASILY biodegraded by the environment, whereas the green diesel is chemically identical (or is supposed to be) to petroleum diesel, so takes longer and it more environmentally "unfriendly" in its effects when released upon the land (sea, or sky).

exactly Transesterification of algal oil looks viable approach. But i think Pyrolosis and Gastification are also attracting Researcher, Especially much work is been happening in the area of pyrolysis.

We should focus research on large scale production of biofuels from renewable wastes using Algae

it's depend on the microalgae strain and it's lipid content.

Is wondering wht the properties of algae are?
Transesterification of Algae oil into Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (biodiesel) is one of the well known routes to obtain biofuel from algae and has been in practise for many years. However, hydrocracking and liquefaction have recently emerged as newer routes to biofuel production. Which among these two methods (Transesterified biodiesel or hydrocracked green diesel) would be ideal for algae biofuels?
