A critical review on recent methods used for economically viable and eco-friendly development of microalgae as a potential feedstock for synthesis of biodiesel
TL;DR: A thorough understanding of algae and the overall biodiesel production process discussed in this paper is vital so that focused research might lower the costs involved as mentioned in this paper, though it may look simpler to obtain lipids from microalgae, the overall process of choosing an algal strain, cultivation, harvesting, dewatering, and extraction of oil is quite complicated and not economically prudent at this time.

Sustainability and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae): facts and challenges
TL;DR: The sustainability of cyanobacteria is analyzed to solve global problems such as food, energy and environmental degradation and the need to adopt multidisciplinary approaches and a multi-product production (biorefinery) strategy to harness the maximum benefit of cyanOBacteria is emphasized.

Environmental, economic, and energetic costs and benefits of biodiesel and ethanol biofuels
TL;DR: Transportation biofuels such as synfuel hydrocarbons or cellulosic ethanol, if produced from low-input biomass grown on agriculturally marginal land or from waste biomass, could provide much greater supplies and environmental benefits than food-basedBiofuels.
Fermentative butanol production by clostridia
TL;DR: This article reviews biotechnological production of butanol by clostridia and some relevant fermentation and downstream processes and the strategies for strain improvement by metabolic engineering and further requirements to make fermentative butanol production a successful industrial process.
