Because algae oil is comprised of triglycerides and other fatty acids,
it can be converted to a variety of fuel-related products, including
biofuels such as renewable diesel, biodiesel, and renewable jet fuel,
through the same processes used to convert vegetable oils, animal fats,
and other oils. For example, transesterification of vegetable oil to
biodiesel is essentially identical to that of transforming algae oil to
biodiesel. Alternatively, the feedstock oil derived from algae can be
hydro-treated to produce bio-alkanes such as renewable diesel, renewable
gasoline, JP-8, and other jet fuels.
