Perspective assessment of algae-based biofuel production using recycled nutrient sources: The case of Japan

- Assess the utilization of recycled nutrients to produce biodiesel from algae.
- Compare algal cultivation using open ponds and photobioreactors technologies.
- Compare biodiesel production from two algal species of Chlorella vulgaris and Botryococcus braunii.
- Algae-to-oil system is not cost effective as an advantage wastewater treatment.
