“…Moreover, since the industrial revolution, the development of human society and the availability of energy have led to a significant increase in energy. Renewable energy in the form of biofuels seems to be one of the most effective solutions (Saleh et al 2017). Over the past few decades, there has been considerable research on algal biomass as a source of liquid and gaseous biofuels, such as biodiesel (Wang et al 2013), algae power generation (Aziz 2016), and methane (Saratale et al 2018).…”

Enteromorpha prolifera is a nutrient-rich green alga and abound in the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea of China. In this study, E. prolifera was anaerobically digested for biogas production. The variations of chemical compositions and microbial community structure as well as the physical structure of E. prolifera in anaerobic digestion process were investigated. This is the first report of multiple ways to deeply analysis the process of E. prolifera anaerobic digestion. Results from the present work showed that the biogas obtained from E. prolifera anaerobic digestion could achieve 409.7 mL•g− 1 TS with an average methane concentration of 53.2%, and the VFAs content in substrate played a vital role for driving the biogas production of flora. Moreover, S1 of Thermotogaceae and Cenarchaeum, the dominant bacteria and archaea in digestion flora, respectively, played important roles in degrading E. prolifera, acidizing slurry, and providing methanogenic substrate for methanogens.

Concern has increased over the use of fossil fuels in passenger transport vehicle. In Indian cities, autorickshaws are making a huge quantity of air effluence. There are two types of rickshaw are seen running on the road, first one manual type which is pulled by human being and another one is motorized which is using electricity. Here, the proposed e-Rickshaw is designed with respect to a stable design at optimum ground clearance and its aerodynamics. The functionality, construction and mechanisms of solar power-driven rickshaw are briefly discussed in this paper. This paper shows how this conceptual autorickshaw provides passenger comfortable and safe ride upto a speed of 25-30 km/h.

In this study, optimization of microwave (MW) pretreatment conditions for anaerobic digestion of green microalgae (Enteromorpha) is carried out by using response surface methodology (RSM). MW power, pretreatment time and liquid-solid ratio were selected as independent variables for optimization. The optimum conditions were achieved at MW power, pretreatment time and liquid-solid ratio of 656.92 W, 5.10 min and 33.63:1, respectively. From these optimum conditions, it was found that MW pretreatment power of about 600 W had better effect. An anaerobic digestion was carried out batch-wise with working volume, operating temperature and mixing rate as 250 ml, 37 °C and 150 rpm, respectively. Optimum conditions provide highest amount of COD and reducing sugar increase of 10,420 mg/L and 0.77-0.79 g/L respectively. The increase in COD and reducing sugar showed that the pretreatment has improved anaerobic digestion of microalgae. The peak biogas production amount of MW pretreated 20:1, 6 min group reached 244 mL whereas the control group only reached 188 mL in total.
