Green or Green Desserts ?
Abstract: Human started agriculture around 9500 BC. Since then many agricultural techniques were adoptedand abandoned. Today’s agricultural technique is completely different from when it was started orsome hundreds of years ago. Even though agriculture practices are dangerous for environment. Sinceancient time, forests were cut down to cultivate, and now extreme use of land for agriculture made itlose its fertility, and causing land go barren. Here, in this paper, we have discussed …

Glycerol Management: Challenges and Opportunities for Biodiesel Producers and Refiners
Abstract: During the last few years, concerns with availability and cost of conventional liquid fuels increased considerably. Considering the present scenario, bio-components are playing an important role in transportation fuels. One such bio-based fuel that is being widely commercialized is biodiesel. With the commercial production of biodiesel a glut of glycerol is going to be created as a byproduct; it will cause market prices to plummet which imbalance the economic viability …

Microalgae in Bioremediation of Waste water and Production of Bioproducts
Abstract: Domestic wastewater treatment and remediation is an exclusive practice due to substantial time and scheduling needed for fruitful management. Recent waste water treatment plants are extremely mechanical and costly to build and sustain. Maximum of the domestic waste water is considered feeble or average in strength with nitrogen levels between 20–40 mg/L and phosphorus levels between 4–8 mg/L[3]. These concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus are unwanted as they can lead …
