it is based on which method to be used for oil extraction from algae. For Eg. if you use soxhlet the oil will be appeared in greenish coluor, for Bligh and Dyer method the oil will be light brown in colour.

Although all algae have chlorophyll not all kinds of algae are green. Fire algae are unicellular algae that are red in color because of too little oxygen in the water
the basis for classifying algae is color
scientists hope to use algae as a biofuel to replace the diminishing reserves of other fossil fuels
Green is the color of algae........ some algae are green, Red, Brown, or Golden Brown
Biodiesel and all biofuel is renewable. It can be made again because the vegetation and algae it comes from can all grow again.
Biofuel is any kind of oil (vegetable oil) or organic burnable material (biomass) that is not fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas). Biofuel is renewable because it comes from plants or algae that grew recently, and removed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while growing. When burnt, this carbon dioxide (CO2) is returned to the atmosphere as part of the carbon cycle, making biofuel carbon-neutral. So it does not contribute to global warming.

Algae: Green algae, even red algae but phycoerythrin over populates it which gives the red algae its red color.
