Table 3.2 Key Assumptions and Estimated EROIs in Peer-Reviewed Life Cycle Assessments
of Biodiesel from Autotrophic Microalgae Published in the 2009–2011 Period

Terms explained in footnote of Table 3.1.
To the extent that available LCAs deal with the aspects upstream from harvesting autotrophic
microalgae in ponds, relatively positive energetic outcomes (though the EROI is still <5) seem
