Article Synopsis
  • Excessive fossil fuel use is leading to environmental issues and a pressing need to transition to renewable energy sources, particularly from lignocellulosic biomass.
  • The study investigates the joint production of biohydrogen and biomethane using a lesser-studied halophyte, optimizing various reaction parameters like temperature, pH, and substrate concentration.
  • Optimal conditions resulted in a significant increase in both biohydrogen (66 mL) and biomethane (343 mL) yields, showcasing the halophyte's potential as a valuable renewable energy source.

Rapid and unchecked industrialization and the combustion of fossil fuels have engendered a state of fear in urban settlements. Smog is a visible form of air pollution that arises due to the over-emissions of some primary pollutants like volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hydrocarbons, SO, NO, and NO which further react in the atmosphere and give rise to toxic and carcinogenic secondary smog components. Smog reduces the visibility on roads and results in road accidents and cancellation of flights.
