Renewable energy has attracted significant interest in recent years as a result of sustainability, environmental impact, and socio-economic considerations. Given existing technological knowledge and based on projections relating to biofuels derived from microalgae, microalgal feedstock is considered to be one of the most important renewable energy sources potentially available for industrial production. Therefore, this review examines microalgal bioethanol technology, which converts biomass from microalgae to fuel, the chemical processes involved, and possible ways of increasing the bioethanol yield, such as abiotic factors and genetic manipulation of fermenting organisms.
近年来，可再生能源因其可持续性、环境影响和社会经济考虑而引起了极大的关注。鉴于现有技术知识，并根据与微藻衍生生物燃料相关的预测，微藻原料被认为是最有潜力可用于工业生产的可再生能源之一。因此，本综述考察了将微藻生物质转化为燃料的微藻生物乙醇技术、所涉及的化学过程以及提高生物乙醇产量的可能途径，如非生物因素和发酵生物的遗传操作。
