The EROI ratio and GHG emissions/MJ of (a) algae-derived diesel and (b) algae-derived gasoline produced using HTL. The GHG emissions for HTL-derived algae fuels are also lower than other existing algae-to-energy processes based on transesterification, the researchers reported in their paper, published in the journal Bioresource Technology.
