Hydrothermal Processing of Microalgae

As a result of the increasing population and industrial development, there is an enormous energy demand worldwide. For this reason, the research on the potential of microalgae (including also cyanobacteria) as a third-generation feedstock for bioenergy production has markedly increased. Besides biofuels (biogas, bioethanol, biodiesel, etc.), algae biomass is one of the most promising feedstock to produce high-value products in a sustainable way.
