Towards Sustainable Reuse of Gas-To-Liquid Biosludge for Industrial Crops Production

As the world moves to achieve sustainable development goals (SDG) by 2030, the search for economic ways of waste recovery is becoming a priority in the growth of any economy. Qatar, an arid land and the home of a heavily active oil and gas industry, is a producer of large amounts of wastewater, gree...
