Abstract

The production of biofuel has advanced significantly in recent years, while the cost and availability of fossil fuels have increased. The most affordable and widely accessible resource is biomass and biofuel. An unpleasant water weed that grows in large quantities in India, water hyacinth can be exploited to make biogas to provide electricity and biofuels to power motors and cars. In this study, we provide a summary of the barriers to biomass production and consumption as well as a mathematical modeling of water hyacinth biomass production. The multi-objective linear programming technique is used to formulate the entire biomass plant construction concept.
