微藻可以积累高达其干重80%的脂肪酸（christi 2007）。因此，每公顷产量可能比陆生油料植物高出30倍。微藻的生物多样性巨大。据估计有20万到几百万种。这种多样性是研究和工业尚未开发的潜力。与陆生产油物种相比，微藻具有许多特点，可以解决环境问题，并大幅提高石油产量。微藻目前正在引起媒体的热情，许多初创企业正在投资这一利基市场。然而，在达到预期的回报和成本之前，在这些技术能够大规模开发之前，仍然有一些锁需要通过上游搜索来解除。
Microalgae can accumulate fatty acids up to 80% of their dry weight (Chisti 2007). As a consequence the yield per hectare could be higher by a factor of 30 compared to terrestrial oleaginous species. Biodiversity of microalgae is enormous. It is estimated that there are between 200 000 and several million species. Such diversity is an unexplored potential for research and industry. In comparison to terrestrial oleaginous species, microalgae have many characteristics addressing environmental problems with a drastically enhanced oil production. Microalgae are currently generating mediatic enthusiasm, and many start-ups are investing this niche. Nevertheless there are still locks to undo via upstream search, before the expected returns and costs are met and before these technologies can be developed at a large scale.
