ABSTRACT
As a resource for Aquaponics project, the huge quantity of useable bakery waste was staggering and dictated the type of fuel to be made. Only one type of fuel met all three needs – ethanol – and in particular, ethanol from bakery waste. Aquaponics is the joining together of two food-producing systems, aquaculture and hydroponics. The roof of the aquaponics greenhouse is designed to capture rainwater and to melt and capture snow. The aquaponics greenhouse will have microturbines placed inside during the winter to generate electricity. Monitoring culture medium for ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate gives a very accurate indication of bacterial growth. Monitoring culture medium for ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate gives a very accurate indication of bacterial growth. Marine fish meal is becoming scarce and expensive due to the overharvesting of native fisheries. All energy crops will be irrigated with fish effluent with controls in place to determine the beneficial effect this waste product has on field-grown plants.
