Abstract:
Biomass usually is noticed a composition of various
types of waste materials that can be utilized as useful
form of energy alternative to the conventional fossil
fuels. However this new kind of energy hasn’t met its
full potential in production of energy especially
electricity generation due to its lower performance in
terms of thermal efficiency. Algae (included Microalgae
& Macroalgae) is widely used for multi-application
developments such as fishery aquaculture, food/nutrient
supplement, cosmetics, and biomass energy. In this paper
we selected the two type of freshwater microalgae
“Chlorella Vulgaris” & “Spirulina” as the main materials
and analyzed their calorific values which both are near
or over 5000 KC/KG. This paper will be used as a
reference material for microalgae multi-oriental energy
application and biomass composition proximate and
ultimate research development in the future.
