- Biodiesel production from microalgae is hindered by the high cost of lipid extraction methods. This paper provides significant data on the optimization of lipid extraction from microalgae that will be used in industry to achieve a more economically viable sector. This research led to international collaboration between the authors, University of Sharjah, Sharjah, UAE, the Minia University, Egypt and the Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia. This work provided the background for two new PhD projects.
