This edited book presents all feasible approaches to improve technology of algal biofuels production at both qualitative and quantitative front. The book's focus in on enhancing mass scale production of algae based biofuels by addressing technological issues and filling the existing gaps to make it smooth for practical as well as commercial implementation. The book also explores in depth analysis of various issues other than technology and related to improve technological significance for practical biofuels production from algae. Low cost strategies and higher mass production is one of the most sounding agenda of the book. The book also evaluates enlighten various sustainable algal biofuels options which are close towards commercial application along with their green future prospect. Societal and environment friendly approach even for commercial application has also been discussed in book. This is a useful reading material for researchers and students of biofuelsand reneable energy.

Provides in-depth updates on recent work in algal biofuels production technologies Covers current existing blockage in basic research on algal biofuels production with sustainable solution Presents comparative analysis for algal biofuels production via various pathways
