The lipids of microalgae are the source for obtaining third-generation biofuels so that fossil fuels can be replaced. The objectives of this study were to determine the composition of the lipids of Chlorella and Scenedesmus microalgae using the gravimetric method; Determine the efficiency of different solvents for the extraction of lipids with the Soxhlet method and compare the lipid recovery productivities of Chlorella microalgae with thermal and physical pretreatments. The highest amount of lipids, 20.37% per dry sample, the microalga, the chlorella, the solvent mixture, the chloroform:methanol in a 1:2 ratio. The increase in the amount of lipids generated with the use of pretreatments no justifies its use for which it is recommended that no pretreatment be applied. The results allow to establish a baseline in the use of microalgae cultivable in the Ecuadorian mountain to obtain lipids for biofuels.
