Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Microalgae oil (MAO), a third‐generation biofuel, can support global transportation fuel demand as a fossil fuel substitute. Schizochytrium sp. MAO is particularly promising for direct use in compression ignition (CI) engines, especially in the marine sector, due to its adaptability and high oil yield.
