Synthesis of Integrated Biomass Fermenter- Digester for Fuel Production

Due to the diminishing fossil fuel reserves, alternatives energy sources need to be renewable, sustainable, efficient, cost effective and safe. Biomass has huge potential to generate renewable fuel oil replacing fossil fuel in our country. There are many options of process technologies to produce...
