Biomass

fixation. Bio-fuels are produced from living organisms. The carbon fixation takes place in microalgae and plants. Bio-fuels are via conversion of biomass, recent living organisms. Biomass can form convenient energy that is composed of substances is different ways such as chemical conversions, thermal conversions, and biochemical conversion. The conversion of biomass can result into different forms of fuels like liquid, solid, and gas (PR, Newswire…

the roles they play in stabilizing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations as well as mitigating CO2 emissions. Specific interest has been shown towards agroforestry systems and their ability to sequester carbons in above and below ground biomass while simultaneously enhancing global carbon sinks (Dixon et al. 1994). Agroforestry offers the opportunities to syndicate the twin objectives of adapting to climate change and mitigating the change. Although agroforestry has the potential to…

That was 5 hours ago. It can either tunnel now or it figured out a way to withstand seawater. Neither is good. It can now interface with our tech. The rest of the team is trying to extract the VIPs from the ruins of Central but I doubt”. Suddenly a biomass tentacle bursts through the now open door spearing 23. Operative 24 is…

towards alternative energy. Some are still non-renewable, like nuclear energy, but are much cleaner for the atmosphere than fossil fuels, while most of them are renewable and clean. The most common renewable energies are wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, and hydro energies. Renewable energies produced about 16.6% of the world’s energy in 2010, and this number is expected to rise by 42% of their total in the decade from 2010-2020 (Pazheri et al., 2014). Renewable energies are currently being used…

The majority of these deaths occur in the developing world, where solid biomass is used for cooking and heating. The range of health effects is substantial with the most deaths attributed to ischemic heart disease (IHD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and stroke (Figure 3) (WHO, 2014). These health effects are…

measured there was 8 meters tall and about 54 years old. They analyzed the two site independently. The above groubd C pools were based on the tree and shrub biomass. They measured groundcover by harvesting all the vegetation in 0.25 m2 sample for about every plot they were studying. They sorted out the grass and small-woody plants by their biomass and weighted…

Diversity Lab Write-Up Introduction: Biodiversity is the measure of the variety of the organisms in an ecosystem. This variety can be between species, within species, and between ecosystems, but in this lab, only the variety between species will be discussed to quantify the biodiversity of the target ecosystem. Biodiversity can be quantified by two main aspects which are species richness, and species eveness. Species richness is the number of species observed per sample of an ecosystem, and if…

changed into three different groups? After extensive research, I decided to test the effect of fruit peels, grass clippings, and coffee grounds on earthworms and their soil. It has been proven previously that a rich diet enhances the enzymes and biomass of earthworms,…

Biomass is fuel developed from organic materials and biological waste like trees, crops and forest residues. These materials are burned in industrial facilities and generally put off less hazardous emissions than the normal fossil fuels. When biomass is burned, it produces heat and steam that runs a turbine to create power (Povey). Biomass is very economically safe. It uses things that would generally be put in landfills…

immiscibility of nonpolar organic solvents with water contained in wet microalgae {Yoo, 2012 #31} {Kim, 2013 #118}. Traditional method for lipid extraction from dry biomass uses a co-solvent system, which consist of a non-polar solvent and polar solvent {Halim, 2012 #7} {Kim, 2013 #118}. When the co-solvent system is directly applied to wet microalgal biomass, the microalgal cells tend to stay in the hydrophilic phase because of their negatively charged surface, limiting the direct contact…
