The article discusses the potential of microalgae as a raw material for biofuel production, particularly biodiesel. It highlights the advantages of using microalgae over traditional oil crops such as rapeseed, soybean, sunflower, and palm, including higher oil content, faster growth rates, and the ability to use non-arable land and non-potable water. The study evaluates several microalgae species, including *Chlorella vulgaris*, *Spirulina maxima*, *Nannochloropsis sp.*, *Neochloris oleabundans*, *Scenedesmus obliquus*, and *Dunaliella tertiolecta*. *Neochloris oleabundans* and *Nannochloropsis sp.* are found to have the highest oil content (29.0% and 28.7%, respectively), and both show a significant increase in oil quantity when grown under nitrogen deficiency. *Scenedesmus obliquus* is recommended for biodiesel production due to its favorable fatty acid profile, while *Neochloris oleabundans*, *Nannochloropsis sp.*, and *Dunaliella tertiolecta* can also be used in combination with other oils. The article concludes that microalgal biodiesel is technically feasible and economically competitive, with potential to reduce environmental impact and meet future energy demands.The article discusses the potential of microalgae as a raw material for biofuel production, particularly biodiesel.
