With the increasing concern about environmental pollution and climate change, there has been a growing focus on finding sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives to traditional fossil fuels.

Biodiesel and biofuels have emerged as promising renewable energy sources, offering significant benefits in terms of pollution reduction and greenhouse gas emission mitigation. This article explores the role of biodiesels and biofuels in preventing and treating pollution, emphasizing their properties, stability, and degradation patterns. Additionally, it discusses how biofuels contribute to climate change mitigation by lowering carbon footprints. The article also covers the production of biofuels through anaerobic digestion and the integration of algae-based systems, including the use of Chlorophyceae and blue-green algae. These algae are not only capable of producing biofuels but also valuable by-products, such as phycocyanin and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which have numerous industrial and commercial uses. The discussion concludes by evaluating the potential of algae-based biofuel production in revolutionizing renewable energy generation, pollution control, and sustainable product manufacturing.

Keywords: Biodiesel, biofuels, algae-based biofuels, climate change mitigation, pollution control
