The basis of the issue being analyzed in this paper is the necessity to adhere to principles of long-term development in order to find ecologically friendly replacements to the wide-spread fossil fuels while also reducing the high levels of biological pollutants in the Baltic sea. The goal is to determine the connection between the potential of biochemical methane and the type of algae (microscopic or macroscopic) and different methods of preparation.
This is how I came up with the idea for this project:On the Baltic Sea shoreline, tons of algae are washed out annually. Despite Latvia investing resources in maintaining its shoreline, algae makes beaches less attractive due to restricting water access and emanating unpleasant odors. Algae is used in the production of compost, but there are alternatives for making coastline clean.
