摘要：

With this study, it is aimed to provide an integrated review of the likelihood of microalgae deployment in the framework of biofuels production, while confronting it with emerging technologies, namely solar power. In this framework, a comparison study between the evolution of solar energy and algae biofuels will be made to draw lessons for what could be a possible success path of microalgae biofuel technology. This paper presents a discussion of the ongoing development of policies to optimise production and to encourage emerging energy technologies. To provide insightful arguments, this paper builds upon the Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan) and the European Directives, 2010 scenarios made available by the International Energy Agency regarding energy technologies perspectives, among scientific state-of-the art literature.
