Production of bioenergy

← Previous Next →

Production of bioenergy Because of the increasing demand for energy and growing environmental pressures, the production of bioenergy from a wide range of renewable resources has rapidly become increasingly important during the past few decades.1-3 On the other hand, the world energy demand has dramatically increased also and new sources of energy, besides fossil and
