ABSTRACT
Microalgae can provide several different types of renewable biofuels. These include methane produced by anaerobic digestion of algal biomass, biodiesel derived from microalgal oil, and photobiologically produced biohydrogen. The idea of using microalgae as a source of fuel is not new, but it is being taken seriously because of the escalating price of petroleum. In this paper we present some possibilities of biodiesel production from microalgae. There is presented the produc-tion of microalgal biomass in photobioreactors and transformation of their biomass into biodiesel.

biopaliwa, algi, fotobioreaktory
Mikroalgi mogą być wykorzystywane do produkcji różnych typów biopaliw. Należą do nich: metan produkowany przez beztlenowy rozkład biomasy glonów, biodiesel powstający z oleju pozyskanego z alg i fotobiologicznie produkowany biowodór. Idea wykorzystania mikroalg jako odnawialnego źródła paliwa nie jest nowa i obecnie ze względu na wzrost cen ropy naftowej coraz częściej brana jest poważnie pod uwagę. W prezentowanej pracy przedstawiono możliwości produkcji biodiesla z mikroalg. Omówiono produkcję alg w fotobioreaktorach i przetwarzanie ich biomasy w biodiesel.
