Abstract

In recent periods microalgae have been investigated as a source of raw material to produce biofuels, due to their high productivity, high lipid content and ability to grow in a wide variety of climates and spaces without competing with food production. This work aims to identify the patents related to the production of green diesel from microalgae using pyrolysis processes and niobium-based catalysts. For this, a search was conducted in the database - Espacenet followed by the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), for codes indexed in the International Patent Classification (CIP). The results show that technologies using rapid pyrolysis and niobium catalysts to transform lipids from microalgae into green fuels are non-existent, which may justify a study in the area.
