Leading in this field is Brazil whose present need of gasoline is supplied with 30 % by ethanol produced relatively cheaply from sugarcane. In developed countries bioethanol (3-5 % of present gasoline need) is produced mostly from corn (USA) or wheat (EU). However, ethanol production from cereals is expensive. Promising feedstock are microalgae. Some of them can surpass yields of classical crop 10-15 times. Technology of growth of unicellular Chlorella in very thin layer on inclined areas is compared with the technology of world-wide mode of cultivation in open ponds. It was found, that due to higher yields and lower energy needs, the cost of biomass production in thin-layer bioractores is only 20 % compared with ponds Workplace Institute of Microbiology Contact Eliška Spurná, eliska.spurna@biomed.cas.cz, Tel.: 241 062 231 Year of Publishing 2009
