Theoretical Estimation of the Production Potential of Biodiesel from Microalgae at the Talara Refinery

Journal article presenting a theoretical estimate of biodiesel production potential from microalgae at the Talara Refinery. Published 2021-12-01.

Solar energy: PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER POTENTIAL (PVOUT) - this map provides a summary of estimated solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation potential. It represents the long-term average of daily/yearly totals of electricity production from a 1 kW-peak grid-connected solar PV power plant. The PV system configuration consists of ground-based, free-standing structures with crystalline-silicon PV modules mounted at a fixed position, with optimum tilt to maximize yearly energy yield.
