Sustainable Aviation Fuel Investment and Feedstock Calculations by Microalgae Applications with Biorefinery Approach

Abstract

Abstract Numerous studies have been created in recent years to establish a sustainable biofuel production industry to address the depletion of fossil fuels. This new industry must be effective (high productivity), financially successful (low production costs, which leads to reasonable fuel rates), and moral (low carbon balance). Algae, one of the most significant sources of biofuel, can survive in a variety of ecosystems, including those found in freshwater and marine environments, desert environments, hot springs, and glacial environments. The kinds and combinations of photosynthetic pigments present in various algal species decide the systematics of algae. Microalgae have enormous potential for the creation of sustainable biofuels. The expense of aviation fuel would approach economic viability if algae production could be scaled up to commercial levels, which would also result in a reduction in carbon emissions. That is more than enough motivation to compete with petroleum fuels, particularly when paired with existing policy support or consideration of coproduct opportunities, as well as promises from the international community to decarbonize aviation. The study's objective is to use wastewater effluent to harvest biofuel from algae specie. Studies will be done in this context on the physiological and chemical characteristics of Arthrospira Platensis. Also, it will research and interpreted how much investment and feedstock is required if the airlines use sustainable aviation fuels.
