Abstract
Fossil fuel resources are depleting rapidly, most importantly the liquid fossil fuel will be
exhausted by this century. In addition to that the fossil fuels are directly related to air pollution, land
pollution and water degradation. In these critical circumstances, biofuel from renewable sources would
be an alternative to reduce our dependency over fossil fuel and assist to maintain the global health,
clean environment and economic sustainability. Production of biofuel from food stocks are generally
consumed by humans or animals can be problematic and it could be the root cause of worldwide
dissatisfaction. Production of biofuel from microalgae can be able to provide some distinctive
advantages because of their rapid growth rate ability, greenhouse gas fixation and high lipid production
ability. Here we have the review about the current and latest status of biofuel produced from algae
which would be a renewable.
