Microalgae appear to be the only source of biodiesel that have the potential to completely replace fossil diesel (Table 11.2). Unlike other oil crops, microalgae grow rapidly and many of them are exceedingly rich in oil (Grifth and Harrison, 2009). Microalgae commonly double their biomass within 18 to 24 h (Sheehan et al., 1998).
