This project investigated the feasibility of harvesting duckweed from the constructed wetlands of the North Carolina A&T State University farm to be converted into biofuel by thermochemical liquefaction process. Using the duckweed to produce renewable energy will add value to the land as well as reduce emission of greenhouse gases by replacing petroleum products.
