Abstract
The current widespread research events on microalgae as the renewable energy source and the energy most depend on the basic and applied research on the multidiscipline like biology, physiology, culture methods, culture systems, etc. undertaken in the past. Wide range of algae from tiny structure with single cell to the species with multi-cellular structure, are analyzed. Various type of Algae are commonly found at damping sites or bodies of water and thus are common on globe as well as aquatic environments. Algae have need of mainly three natural elements to nurture and grow: daylight, carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis is an important bio-chemical process in which plants like, Algae, and some microbes convert the energy of daylight rays to chemical energy. This paper deals with the experimental procedure of the biofuel production from microalgae collected from the pond located on campus. By utilizing the concept of the transesterification process, lipid from algae was separated. Potassium hydroxide(KOH) is added to filter the pure form of algae biofuel in this experiment.
