Using Biomass of Microalgae as a Potential Biofuel

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The results of the study of the calorific value of the fuel obtained from the biomass of microalgae Chlorella vulgaris, obtained as a result of the absorption of greenhouse gases, by the method of complex thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyzes are presented. The calorific value of fuel samples obtained from biomass grown by absorbing pure carbon dioxide and biomass grown by absorbing a mixture of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides was determined. Combustion of fuel samples obtained as a result of absorption of greenhouse gases is accompanied by a higher exothermic effect by 1.7% compared to the standard obtained from pure carbon dioxide. According to research results, the calorific value of this fuel exceeds by 17% the calorific value of aspen, which is an alternative source of energy in Europe, and is commensurate with the calorific value of selectively bred energy willow.
