Title:
METHOD FOR PRODUCING BIOFUEL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/148981
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed are a series of processes for producing a biofuel, which include a technique wherein carbon dioxide serving as a carbon source is converted into a biomass by photosynthesis by photosynthetic microorganisms and the production of a biofuel is carried out after that. Specifically disclosed is a method for producing a biofuel, which is characterized by comprising: a culture step (S1) wherein photosynthetic microorganisms that accumulate a fat or oil and a carbohydrate in the cells thereof are cultured in a broth; a fat or oil conversion step (S2) wherein the carbohydrate accumulated in the cells of the photosynthetic microorganisms, which have been cultured in the broth, is converted into a fat or oil; an extraction step (S3) wherein the oil or fat is extracted from the cells of the photosynthetic microorganisms; and a modification step (S4) wherein the extracted fat or oil is modified.
