Biofuel production from Microalgae Chlorella species have long been identified as potentially good source because of their high oil content, fast growth, easy cultivation, short life span. Chlorella parasitca is found to have symbiotic association in the cells of Paramecium and Hydra. Chlorella vulgaris, Chlorella conductrix, Chlorella Gonglomerata and C. parasitca are the common Indian species. Chlorella is represented by only eight species. Out of all these species, Chlorella vulgaris is one of the prominent algae species for producing biofuel because of its fast growth and easy cultivation. The microalgal biodiesel have many advantages as it can reduce net carbon dioxide emission by 78% on a life-cycle basis as compared to traditional diesel fuel Microalgal biodiesel also contain little or no sulphur or aromatic compound but in conventional diesel, the sulphur lead to formation of sulphur oxide and sulphuric acid, while the aromatic compound also increase particulate matter and are considered carcinogens.

Chlorella is found interesting for the development of second generation biofuel and because of being immense diversification among the other microalgal species found in different habitats of North East India. It can grow in salt water, freshwater or even contaminated water, or in ponds, and even on land which are not suitable for food production. On top of those advantages, algae can grow even better when fed extra carbon dioxide (the main greenhouse gas) and organic material like sewage. If so, along with biofuel production it can deal up with cleaning up other problems. Construction of a Open raceway Photobioreactor.
