Respected Sir,

Algal biofuels are considered more sustainable than other biofuels because they can be grown rapidly, require less land and freshwater, and can utilize marginal lands. Additionally, they have the potential to produce higher yields of energy per acre compared to traditional biofuel crops. While algae biofuels show promise, their widespread adoption to fully replace fossil fuels would require significant technological advancements and infrastructure development.

Dr Himanshu Tiwari thank you for your contribution to the discussion

Algal biofuels constitute sustainable alternatives, as they uptake carbon dioxide as the carbon source, have higher yields than other terrestrial biomass feedstock, and can be grown with non-fresh water sources without requiring high-value arable land. Algae have a reduced impact on the environment compared with terrestrial sources of biomass used for biofuels. They can be grown on land that would not be used for traditional agricultural, and are very efficient at removing nutrients from water. Microalgae's ability to grow quickly with photosynthesis, carbon dioxide, and nutrients makes them ideal biofuel sources that do not compete for resources with food crops like corn. Algae cultivation on non-arable land allows it to produce biofuel while not competing with them for resources. Therefore, algae is a best candidate for the production of biodiesel which can reduce greenhouse gas (CO2) and is capable of producing more fuel compared to the conventional bio oil sources with lesser utility of fresh water and fertile land.
