Alternative Renewable Energy Application

Abstract: Biomass usually is
noticed a composition of various types of waste
materials that can be utilized as useful form of energy
alternative to the conventional fossil fuels. However
this new kind of energy hasn’t met its full potential in
production of energy especially electricity generation
due to its lower performance in terms of thermal
efficiency. Algae (included Microalgae & Macroalgae) is
widely used for multi-application developments such as
fishery aquaculture, food/nutrient supplement,
cosmetics, and biomass energy. In this paper we selected
the two type of freshwater microalgae “Chlorella
Vulgaris” & “Spirulina” as the main materials and
analyzed their calorific values which both are near or
over 5000 KC/KG. This paper will be used as a reference
material for microalgae multi-oriental energy
application and biomass composition proximate and
ultimate research development in the future.
