Here, algae-based fuels hold great promise, [119] [120] directly related to the potential to produce more biomass per unit area in a year than any other form of biomass. The break-even point for algae-based biofuels is estimated to occur by 2025. [121]
Turbinaria J.V. Lamouroux is a genus under family Sargassaceae, order Fucales, of the class Phaeophyceae (brown algae). Taxonomic classification is based on morphological characteristics including the shape of the leaves, vesicles, and receptacles, as well as the development of the axes. [4]
Scientific classification; Domain: Eukaryota: Seaweeds can be found in the following groups Chlorophyta (green algae) Phaeophyceae (brown algae) Phaeothamniophyceae; Chrysophyceae (gold algae) Cyanobacteria [1] [2] Rhodophyta (red algae)
Nannochloropsis is a genus of algae comprising six known species.The genus in the current taxonomic classification was first termed by Hibberd (1981). [2] The species have mostly been known from the marine environment but also occur in fresh and brackish water. [3]
Below are other published taxonomies of the red algae using molecular and traditional alpha taxonomic data; however, the taxonomy of the red algae is still in a state of flux (with classification above the level of order having received little scientific attention for most of the 20th century).

A whole set of terms including taxonomy, systematic biology, systematics, scientific classification, biological classification, and phylogenetics have at times had overlapping meanings – sometimes the same, sometimes slightly different, but always related and intersecting. [1] [11] The broadest meaning of "taxonomy" is used here.
Scenedesmus is one of the most common freshwater algae genera; however, the extremely diverse morphologies found within species make identification difficult. [4] While most species are found across the world, certain species exist only in local populations such as S. intermedius and S. serratus which are found in New Zealand.
Pinnularia is a predominantly fresh-water algae usually found in ponds and moist soil. [2] They can also be found in springs, estuaries , sediments , and oceans. Members of this genus are most commonly found in 40 cm (16 in) of water, at 5 °C (41 °F).
