Aviation is indispensable for global transportation and economic growth. One promising solution to its environmental concerns is developing biofuels derived from oil seeds like Brasica carinate (B. carinata). Adopting responsible nitrogen application practices during the cultivation of B. carinata mitigate …

Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is composed mostly of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Limestone is, among many applications, used as a raw material for the manufacture of quicklime.

This thesis examines the literature and looks at the local impacts of land grabbing in Ghana, with a special focus to the biofuel …

It is said that environmental problems are research dependent. Science is in these cases needed to identify a phenomenon such as climate change. New technologies can be characterized both by scientific uncertainties and research dependence (Yearley, 1996). An example of this is the case of biofuels. …

The objective of this study consisted of examining the feasibility of producing Camelina in Eastern Wyoming. This was examined from both a technical and economical stand point, developing a potential chain for a Camelina sector, an examination of linkages in information about the crop, as well as missing …
