Novel Process to Utilize Co2, Algae, & Other Non-Food/Non-Fodder Biomass for Production of Methane
Pistia stratiotes (Jalkumbhi) is aquatic plant, stoloniferous, floating on lakes, streams, and stagnant water ponds and in lime-rich water, throughout India. It is also distributed in the tropical and subtropical region of Asia, Africa, and America. As part of massive river cleaning initiative in the India, directives are given to remove Pistia stratiotes and other …
Peace Engineering and the Age of Sustainable Development
We live in a world in which populations are displaced each year by large-scale development projects such as dams, highways, ports, railways, and natural resource extraction. In many parts of Africa, Latin America, Asia, and North America, natural resource extraction often exacerbates the vulnerability of minority groups. Perceptions of marginalization become polarized and develop into …

Densification of Tropical Wood Residues for the Development of Solid Fuels
Densification of materials through pelletisation, briquetting and cubing to form strong and durable bonding products with greater structural homogeneity, better handling and durability properties has attracted the attention of researchers in recent past. The present work focused on conversion of residues of some tropical wood species to energy fuel through pelletisation. The woody-biomass species studied …
Renewables Intermittency Versus Power (In)Flexibility: New Insights From Tail-Index Estimates
Power prices are well known to have a fat-tailed probability distribution function. These fat tails represent the probability of sudden extreme high and low prices that occur as a result of abrupt changes in supply, partly due to intermittent renewable power generation, and/or in demand due to inelastic short-term demand and the absence of sufficient …
