Towards a sustainable renewable energy

The merits of renewable energy have been well recognised, starting from environment gains to empowering society. As to sustain, efforts need to be focused towards environment-non-harming initiatives in order to counter numerous emerging issues in renewables. Integration and biorefinery are the possi...
