Algal biomass as biofuels
Extensive research is being undertaken in the search andproduction of naturally viable and sustainable energysourcesThe idea that algae biomass based biofuels could serve asan alternative to fossil fuels has been embraced bycouncils across the globeMajor companies government bodies and dedicated nonprofit organisations are getting involvedThe domain is a rich source of datainformationknowledge
