Introduction: Biomass is an industry term for getting energy by burning wood, and other organic matter. Burning biomass releases carbon emissions, around a quarter higher than burning coal, but has been classed as a "renewable" energy source in the EU and UN legal frameworks, because plants can be regrown.[1] It has become popular among coal power stations, which switch from coal to biomass to comply with the law. Biomass most often refers to plants or plant-based materials that are not used for
environmentally sound, recycles vitamins efficiently, does no longer cause secondary pollutants, and produces biomass and oils that can be harvested to make beneficial products which include biodiesel. By combining algae and wastewater treatment, low effluent nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations may be done. The process then recycles nutrients from wastewater remedy sludge to produce biomass and oils that may be harvested to make useful products which include
Earth is the planet which billions of human beings and living creatures call home. As humans we have our daily necessities and things that help us to survive. Earthly elements and natural forces are sources of these necessities. What most people living on this earth don’t realize is that the electricity powered by a variety of reliable and unreliable sources help sustain life to 7.422 billion people. What gets you from point A to point B? What powers our homes? Electricity and energy are a major
Energy is a form of life in the living. Thus, people have the tendency to lose its ability to do things as energy depletes. As a result, the needs of energy are often crucial, energy crisis may occur due to the scarcity of resources and the growth in energy demand. Since Brunei Darussalam is well-provided with conventional energy resources such as oil and gas, the probability of energy crisis occur in Brunei is lessened, but, it does not indicate that it would not happen in Brunei. As Brunei is enriched
1.1 GENERAL The most important and crucial problems faced by the world include not only energy crisis, depleting fossil fuel, environmental pollution and poor energy efficiency, but also the severe consequences faced by humans in their day-to-day life. While analysing the past decades, the surplus energy crisis have been satisfied by burning coal, hydrocarbons-oil, and natural gas, which in-turn leads to the carbon emissions that further leads to form environmental pollution. The major environmental
Agroforestry system is a promising options to counteract the catastrophic effects of climate change through providing multifaceted benefits including food supply, generating income and ecosystem services (Lasco et al., 2014). Among the popular agroforestry systems, multistoried agroforestry is increasingly recognized as a sustainable land use pattern which integrate different trees and
of energy or nutrients through the ecosystem. Looking at the Odum model of energy circuit (Mann 11) clearly shows the transition from source to another. Starting with primary producers initially increasing biomass by photosynthesis or providing a food source for heterotrophs, then loss of biomass via respiration and finally showing the net production. This then moves
organic matter transformation and are the major source of soil enzymes (Said and Kpomblekou-A, 2009). Indeed, soil microbial biomass, through the decomposition of organic matter, releases nutrients into plant available forms, and degrades toxics. Schloter (2003) reported that soil microbial biomass and activity is an important aspect of soil quality. That is why microbial biomass is considered a sensitive parameter used to analyzed changes in organic matter composition of the soil (Brookes, 1995). In

natural processes that are replenished constantly. In its various forms, it derives directly from the sun, or from heat generated deep within the earth. Included in the definition is electricity and heat generated from solar, wind, ocean, hydropower, biomass, geothermal resources, and biofuels and hydrogen derived from renewable resources. In order to understand better the various forms of energy, the sources of energy may be divided into three broad categories. These categories are renewable, non renewable
