Produzione di biocombustibili dalle alghe, favorire la sostenibilità e salvaguardare le risorse energetiche esauribili

After making a brief mention on the contributions that algae, and / or their derivatives, give to the different products groups (food and livestock, extracts, cosmetics, fertilizers, etc.), the authors fix one's attention to analyse the contributions that the algae can offer in terms of renewable and sustainable energy sources. They want a growing interest of governments towards algae cultivation and use, especially designed for energy purposes.

There is, however, the need to improve technologies for the purpose of cost containment in order to encourage competitiveness
