Microalgae for biofuel: Isothermal pyrolysis of a fresh and a marine microalga with mass and energy assessment

Two microalgae species were pyrolysed to produce bio-oil and biochar at various temperatures to investigate the trade-off between the energy used in the pyrolysis and the energy released upon combustion. Chlorella vulgaris (a freshwater microalga) and Nannochloropsis oculata (a marine microalga) wer...
