Lemna gibba L

Abstract

In light of the world's energy challenge and the scarcity of traditional energy resources, Morocco is taking the initiative to become an African leader in the water, energy, and food sectors. It is against this backdrop that this research focuses on the way in which biomass can be used as an environmentally-friendly alternative that makes the wheel of the circular economy turn. This study presents the importance of using Lemna gibba. L (Duckweed), well known for its high biomass production, as an alternative source of energy (biofuel production) as well as animal and human food (up to 30% protein source), after having successfully contributed to its main function of phytoremediating wastewater through its ability to bioaccumulate. This study is therefore a practical application of economic and ecological Bio Tech that can be adopted.
