Why Do We Need Solar Energy? With the world’s natural resources depleting rapidly‚ humans must find a way to compensate. This society has milked oil‚ coal‚ gasoline‚ lead‚ uranium‚ and many other of these reservoirs in our Earth for hundreds of years and much has been done. Asphalt was used for our roads and highways‚ coal was originally used for heat before there was oil‚ and even water was used as a form of electricity on many rural farms. Luckily‚ more companies around the world are waking

Chapter I Introduction The cassava (Manihot Utilissima)‚ that is extensively cultivated as an annual crop for its edible starchy tuberous root‚ a major source of carbohydrates. The cassava root is long and tapered‚ with a firm homogeneous flesh encased in a detachable rind. In experiments‚ cassava yielded two to three times as much carbohydrate for fuel ethanol production (Comis‚ 2008). Ethanol production from fresh cassava roots using a low-temperature process was evaluated on a pilot-plant scale
