Abstract

Among various biomass, microalgae has unique advantages such as fast growing, high efficient photosynthesis, no competition with crops etc. Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is a potential technology for converting microalgae biomass into biofuel, with merits including higher biofuel yield than other methods and lower energy consumption etc. A review of the biofuel yield by HTL of different microalgae is presented here, summarizing the past research about the highest biofuel yield and corresponding conditions for various microalgae. Finally, based on the literatures above-mentioned, future directions in this field are suggested.
