The process of transformation of the Polish economy, traditionally based on coal, into an economy that uses low-carbon technologies, faces a problem associated with the diversification of energy sources, especially in rural areas. The scale of the use of conventional energy carriers in households located in rural areas in Poland has a very negative impact on the natural environment. The aim of the paper is to indicate possibilities of reducing low-altitude emissions (with emitters not exceeding 40 m in height) in rural areas in Poland, through the development of renewable energy sources. This paper provides an overview of the specific character of rural areas in Poland and the development challenges faced in these areas in the investigated scope. In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve energy efficiency, it is necessary to dynamize pro-ecological activities in agriculture and in rural areas, including the development of agricultural biogas plants, wind and photovoltaic farms. The use of renewable energy sources can be an important factor in the development and sustainable growth of rural areas in Poland.

“…The anaerobic process involves degradation of biomass by microorganisms in oxygen-lacking conditions [32,132,133]. It requires less energy, suitable for treatment of high strength wastewater, efficient removal of organic pollutants, produces little amount of sludge and support resources recovery usually in the form of biogas and bio-fertilizer [134].…”

“…It requires less energy, suitable for treatment of high strength wastewater, efficient removal of organic pollutants, produces little amount of sludge and support resources recovery usually in the form of biogas and bio-fertilizer [134]. This implies an efficient microbial activity is the key indicator of the optimal anaerobic process in an ideal MBR [132,135]. It has been reported that the performance of bacteria in the anaerobic process is influenced by environmental conditions such as temperature, pH and nutrients availability [136].…”

Over the years, different types of alternative technologies have been developed and used for palm oil mill effluent (POME) treatment. Specifically, membrane bioreactor (MBR) has been employed to relegate pollutants contained in POME under different operating conditions, and the technology was found to be promising. The major challenge impeding the wider application of this technology is membrane fouling, which usually attracts high operating energy and running cost. In this regard, novel methods of mitigating membrane fouling through the treatment processes have been developed. Therefore, this review article specifically focuses on the recent treatment processes of POME using MBR, with particular emphasis on innovative processes conditions such as aerobic, anaerobic, and hybrid processing as well as their performance in relation to fouling minimization. Furthermore, the effects of sonication and thermophilic and mesophilic conditions on membrane blockage were critically reviewed. The types of foulants and fouling mechanism as influenced by different operating conditions were also analyzed censoriously.

“…The results also show that, concentration of sodium lower than potassium. Sodium and potassium plays an important role in the transition of molecular nitrogen into ammonia during the nitrogen fixing process in microalgae cell [19]. Since sodium and potassium categorized in the same group of the Periodic Table thus it has same chemical properties.…”

The main aim of the present study is to investigate the availability of macronutrient and micronutrient in AnPOME. All collected samples were analyzed using HACH method. The results reveal that the C/N and N/P ratio of the AnPOME is six times more than the theoretical value. Concentration of micronutrients also shown higher concentration range compared to that of the Bold Basal Medium (BBM). However, the concentration of phosphorus in AnPOME six times lower than nitrogen indicates that phosphorus limitation in AnPOME. Hence, this finding suggested the best microalgae to be grown in AnPOME is mixotrophic or heterotrophic mode. Overall, reuse of AnPOME replacing synthetic growth is highly recommended considering that enough composition of macronutrient and micronutrient in AnPOME and inexpensive alternative to synthetic media.
