In some algal biofuel production methods, lipids are extracted from algae and converted to renewable diesel, while the non-lipid components of the algae are converted to biogas. In the algae fractionation process, algal biomass is separated into carbohydrate, lipid, and protein-rich fractions that can be converted into fuels and co-products.

During ethanol production, lignin molecules are clumped around the sugar molecules, forming a barrier the microbes often can’t penetrate; the material must first be exposed to heat and steam or caustic acids and bases to break it down. These extra steps make the process more expensive and often generate hazardous waste. Davis, G.W.
