Abstract

The unsustainable model of intensive use of fossil fuels has driven the development of research on obtaining cleaner and more financially viable alternatives such as biodiesel produced from the biomass obtained through the cultivation of microalgae. This research carried out a prospective study of patents on the cultivation of microalgae for the production of biodiesel using the Code of Cooperative Patent Classification System (CCP), C12N1/12 combined with C12P7/649, as the best search strategy, resulting in a total of 309 patents, grouped in 103 families. The results confirm that this technology is developing rapidly. The greatest number of patent deposits and depositors were from the United States of America, China and South Korea, with the great majority of deposits still being made by individual depositors.
