Abstract

Energy plays an important role in the development of the economy & elevation of living standards. About 90% of the world crude oil supplies come from the Arab countries in the Middle East and due to the political situation there, the oil prices keeps fluctuating and supply lines are untrustworthy. This has lead to countries searching for an alternative fuels. This paper discusses the one of the major alternative fuel i.e.., ALGAL Fuel and also reviews about the current status of macro algae biofuel production and Harvesting. It attracts greater investment for sugar-based ethanol, advanced biofuels, drop-in fuels and biochemical‟s.
