Renewable energy offers the opportunity to lessen fossil fuel consumption. Energy derived from solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass sources are considered renewable. Because most form of bio-energy are derived either directly or indirectly from the sun, there is an abundant supply of renewable energy available, unlike fossil fuels. The use of bio-energy also provides environmental, economic and political benefits. Bio-energy can be produced from a marine source such as biomass provides a CO2 neutral, non-polluting form of energy. Hydrogen was produced from various marine macro-algae through anaerobic fermentation using an undefined bacterial consortium. |
