This review detailed an in-depth analysis of the scope and approach for the synthesis of biodiesel from microalgae. Biodiesel derived from microalgae has been regarded as a strong substitute for conventional diesel primarily due to their high lipid content and sustainability which have been summarized and validated in this article. There are diverse species of microalgae with varying lipid content which can thrive in different environment. There are various factors which affect the propagation of microalgal cells in addition to the cultivation techniques. The main biomass of microalgae that can be converted to biodiesel is lipid and the lipid content can be further optimized by inducing nutrient and environmental stress to microalgae. Optimising lipid production can lead to lowering the cost of production. The cells of microalgae have to be processed and the lipid extracted has to be transesterified to biodiesel which have been extensively discussed in this review article.
