Liquid biofuels such as biodiesel, bioethanol are derived from different biomass feedstocks. Let's know learn about less water footprint technology used for liquid biofuel production
Several recent studies have indicated that green algae as a fuel source fall under the banner of renewable energy sources, especially after the ever-increasing price of fossil fuels. It is growing fast and has limited impact on the environment and does not affect the global need for food such as wheat, corn, and sugar. The most important characteristic of the use of algae as an alternative to fuel that it does not need land suitable for agriculture, it can be cultivated in the deserts, it does not require freshwater and high nutritional value.
