Abstract:
Biomass is a composition of various types of waste
materials that can be utilized as useful form of energy.
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) are widely used for multi-oriental
application developments such as fishery aquaculture,
food/nutrient supplement, cosmetics, and biomass energy.
Microalgae has been treated as the source of bio-fuel
and macro algae also used in fermentation for bio-gas.
In this paper we selected the two type of freshwater
microalgae “Chlorella Vulgaris” & “Spirulina” and macro
algae (Laminariaceae & Undaria pinnatifida) as the main
materials and we combined with fossil fuel (coal) in
different combination, which analyzed calorific values
(heat of combustion). We found the calorific values are
near 5000 KC/KG. The caloric values compared with the
other biomass materials for its potential use in
combustion system. The results in 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.
