Non Fuel Products from Algae

Algae as a feedstock have been used for many products and applications, and   new ones are constantly being discovered. With the recent surge in   interest to use algae as a feedstock for biofuels, there is growing   interest in utilizing the algal biomass in an optimal manner – not just   to produce fuel but also valorizing the co-products of the process. Such   an optimal utilization could make algae based biofuels more   economically viable.

Valorization of co-products is an attractive option, given the fact that the world   has the experience of using algae for a wide array of products. In   addition to oil and biodiesel, the starch component of the biomass makes   a suitable feedstock for the production of ethanol. The residue that is   left over could then be used for conventional animal, fish or poultry   feed, or for other nutraceuticals. There are emerging technologies using   which the residue could be used to make products such as bioplastics.

The number of products that can be made from algae is virtually unlimited,   due to the large variety of species (possibly in the millions) whose   composition can be influenced by changing the cultivation conditions. With only a few commercial algae-based products available, this resource   is largely untapped.

This  non-fuels product section @ Oilgae will provide insights on the diverse   product opportunities for non-fuel products from algae. The list of   prominent non-fuel products, along with their market scope are detailed   below and most of them have been elaborated in length in subsequent  pages.
