藻类生物燃料可能是化石燃料的一种可行替代品;然而，这项技术必须克服一些障碍，才能在燃料市场上竞争并得到广泛应用。这些挑战包括菌株鉴定和改进，包括石油生产力和作物保护，营养和资源分配和使用，以及生产副产品以提高整个系统的经济性。尽管藻类生物燃料的潜力令人兴奋，但该领域仍需要开展大量工作。在这篇文章中，我们试图阐明大规模经济藻类生物燃料面临的主要挑战，并提高科学界的关注度，以应对这些挑战，并将藻类生物燃料从承诺变为现实。
Algae biofuels may provide a viable alternative to fossil fuels; however, this technology must overcome a number of hurdles before it can compete in the fuel market and be broadly deployed. These challenges include strain identification and improvement, both in terms of oil productivity and crop protection, nutrient and resource allocation and use, and the production of co-products to improve the economics of the entire system. Although there is much excitement about the potential of algae biofuels, much work is still required in the field. In this article, we attempt to elucidate the major challenges to economic algal biofuels at scale, and improve the focus of the scientific community to address these challenges and move algal biofuels from promise to reality.
