World
population growth, together with urban development and industrialization, is
increasing the world primary energy consumption every passing day. It is known
that most of the energy used worldwide is derived from fossil fuels such as
coal, oil and natural gas, which are called primary energy sources. In this
context, as humanity continues to search for sustainable development and better
living conditions, renewable energy production becomes a worldwide priority.
Renewable energy has an extremely important place in respect to meeting the
energy needs of countries with domestic resources, thus reducing foreign
dependencies, by diversifying resources and ensuring sustainable energy use and
minimizing the damage to the environment as a result of energy consumption.
Within the context of alternative energy policies, agriculture-based biomass
energy has found a wide application area all over the world, with
environment-friendly, sustainable energy production and environmental
management features aimed at development. However, the increasing production of
biofuels due to the agricultural potential and technological levels of the
countries has brought significant debates with it. In this case, scientists
have voiced that algae biomass, defined as third generation, could be an
alternative energy source and that they have many advantages. From algae
biomass; studies on biofuels such as biodiesel, renewable aviation fuel / bio
jet fuel, bio- gasoline / green gasoline, bio-butanol, bioethanol, methane has
been widely developed. It is a very important development that the agricultural
areas are not used during the cultivation of the algae, and that they can
reproduce with great speed even in very small areas.
