  • Life cycle assessment of algal biofuels

    Creator:
    Kirby, Bryan L.
    Abstract:
    This thesis consists of three studies to better understand the environmental sustainability potential for algal-based biofuels. Initially, a comparison of recent life cycle assessments (LCA) of theoretical full-scale algal biofuel facilities was developed. These studies include varying boundaries and scope, functional units, and technology maturity assumptions. The comparison converted results...

  • Techno-economic analysis of algal lipid fuels

    Creator:
    Xiang, Xuwen
    Abstract:
    A techno-economic analysis (TEA) was performed to evaluate the technology, cost, and resource use for algal biofuel production based on today’s economics and technology. The basic goal of this study is to develop a model to calculate the mass and energy balances and costs to produce 10 million gal of...
