Algal Biomass as Feedstock for Biomethane Production: an Introduction
Journal Title: Journal of Environmental and Social Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
More than half of the world’s population live in rural areas, out of which around 90% (over 2 billion) is from developing countries [1]. Energy and clean water are the two major concerns in the daily life of rural people. Furthermore, rapidly increasing energy demand and growing concern about environmental deterioration demands encouragement of the use of renewable energy resources as alternate fuels [2].
