Liquid biofuels, renewable fuels derived from biomass, are arguably one of the best transition fuels for the near-term and have made a recent resurgence in response to rising oil prices. Biodiesel can be produced from a variety of lipid feedstock, catalysts and alcohols using several possible conversion processes. Microalgae reproduce themselves using photosynthesis to convert sun energy into chemical energy, completing an entire growth cycle every few days. Fresh water chlorophycean algae have great source of lipid content and proving raw material for biodiesel. This paper focuses the growth behavior of fresh water Chlorophycean algae during mass culture for biodiesel production.
