Abstract

The depleting conventional fossil fuel resources and increasing environmental distress has considerably increased research curiosity in biofuels for internal combustion engines. Biofuels and bioproducts produced from plant biomass would reduce global warming. The sourcing of feedstocks, including the impact it may have on biodiversity, land use and competition with food crops, algae have recently received a lot of attention as a new biomass source for the production of renewable energy to provide a new range of third generation biofuels. Accordingly, in this research work oil was extracted from Heterotrophic Chlorella Protothecoides Microalgae biomass by solvent extraction method with soxhlet apparatus, using n-hexane as solvent. An oil yield of 52% by weight was observed with this solvent extraction method. Biodiesel was produced from Heterotrophic Chlorella Protothecoides Microalgae oil by alkali catalyzed transesterification with biodiesel yield of 92 % by volume. Physio-chemical characterization of Microalgae biodiesel was carried out and most of the results obtained were comparable with biodiesel properties and ASTM biodiesel standard. FAMEs content of the Heterotrophic Chlorella Protothecoides Microalgae biodiesel was analysed by Gas Chromatography. The results from this analysis shows that Heterotrophic Chlorella Protothecoides Microalgae according to its fatty acid content is an ideal biomass source for biodiesel production. Key words: Algaeoil, Biodiesel, Transesterification, Heterotrophic, FAMEs.
