A system includes an algae bioreactor that contains an algae slurry, a heat exchanger in fluid communication with the algae bioreactor to receive the algae slurry from the algae bioreactor and heat and increase a pressure of the algae slurry, and one or more valves and a flash vessel in fluid communication with a discharge of the heat exchanger to flash the algae slurry and create steam and algae biomass. A separator receives the algae biomass from the flash vessel and separates oils from the algae biomass to generate a biofuel.

Disclosed is a method for preparing a low erucic acid fragrant rapeseed oil. The method includes subjecting a double low rapeseed to aroma-generating treatment, to obtain an aroma-generated rapeseed, the double low rapeseed including lower than 3 wt % of erucic acid, lower than 45 ?mol/g of total glucosinolates, 6-15 ?mol/g of 3-butenyl glucosinolate, and 0.4-2.0 ?mol/g of 4-methylthiobutyl glucosinolate; mechanically squeezing the aroma-generated rapeseed, to obtain a crude oil; and degumming the crude oil, to obtain the low erucic acid fragrant rapeseed oil.
