Popis: Of late years, aquatic plants have received increased attention due to their energy potential in sustainable agriculture. Pistia stratiotes also belongs to this category. A vital aspect in sustainable agriculture, to which there is a growing tendency, is the use of environmentally friendly methods. Aquatic plants are used as raw materials for various applications, such as food industry, health, agriculture and aquaculture, ecosystem management, being an essential renewable resource. Due to population growth, both developed and developing countries are mainly facing problems related to future energy security and the proper use of natural resources. As the search for renewable energy resource intensifies, there is a growing drive to identify and develop promising, environmentally friendly, low-carbon and low-carbon bioenergy raw materials. Fuel demand is rising, while food costs and waste are gradually rising. It is therefore necessary to address waste management and reduce pollution caused by excessive energy use and industrialization. The current study focuses on the potential for harnessing renewable energy in the Nile lettuce (Pistia stratiotes), namely, highlighting the process of residual biomass, biofuel and compost.
