Land Use and Finance Sustainable Local Development

......According to the Brune, Lundquist & Benemann current feedstock debates for biofuel include challenges to replacing food with fuel during the production of feedstocks for biofuel. The argument is that by utilizing arable land that could be used to grow crops the feedstock industry may be causing more problems than it solves with its biofuel. According to the researchers the answer lays in seeking biomass feedstock that does not require arable land for production. The work looks very closely at a form of feedstock, microalgal, that could solve rather than cause problems by using undesirable land, such as brackish water, or salinated and even polluted standing water to produce it as well as allowing the system to recover valuable resources from otherwise unused water and to possibly even reuse CO2 from power-plant flue gas or other CO2 sources that might otherwise go into the atmosphere. The work claims that such biomass is currently unused, can reduce greenhouse gas production and can even resolve issues regarding animal waste and sludge from industry. The researchers also claim that the 20% oil (for biofuel) and 50% protein waste (could be further generative as the protein could then be used to make animal feed)
