Environmental considerations will increasingly determine use of macro algae product and improve process acceptability that drive the next generation of economic opportunity. Some countries including Japan are actively promoting a macro algae â€green’ technology that is many growing demand worldwide in the coming decades.In this context, biomass refer to any source of heat energy that is produced from non-fossils biological materials. Unlike fossil fuels, biomass is a renewable energy resource that is available where the climatic conditions are favorable for plant growth and production. Different macro algae survive in different habitat. This paper describes review of microalgae species as well as qualitative and quantitative experimental analysis of the types of macro algae which are suitable cultivation.
