使用海藻油混合物的首次试飞已经进行，航空和其他行业的期望很高。另一方面，关于培养系统的性能、下游加工和藻油作为燃料的适用性的技术数据仍然有限。现有的微藻种植业主要为食品和饲料市场生产。能源效率远远超出了范围，但如果产品改为生物燃料，就需要考虑到这一点。能源和二氧化碳平衡用于估计海藻油满足欧盟生物燃料可持续性标准的潜力。该分析得到了实验室测试以及中试规模演示器所获得的数据的支持，并结合了众所周知的既定工艺的已公布数据。藻油组合物是作为燃料的适用性以及经济可行性的指标。因此，获得高价值部分的方法非常重要，并将进行讨论，以确定最预期的市场。
First test flights using blends with algae oil are already carried out and expectations by the aviation and other industries are high. On the other hand technical data about performance of cultivation systems, downstream processing, and suitability of algae oil as fuel are still limited. The existing microalgae growing industry mainly produces for the food and feed market. Energy efficiency is so far out of scope but needs to be taken into account if the product changes to biofuel. Energy and CO2 balances are used to estimate the potential of algae oil to fulfil the EU sustainability criteria for biofuels. The analysis is supported by lab tests as well as data gained by a pilot scale demonstrator combined with published data for well-known established processes. The algae oil composition is indicator of suitability as fuel as well as for economic viability. Approaches attaining high value fractions are therefore of great importance and will be discussed in order to determine the most intended market.
