CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Due to the modernization to our country, there were new things that are added in the basic necessities of an individual, one of this is fuel. Since fuel can be afford in a high price, some people afford fuel. To resolve this problem, we need to find abundant and renewable source of fuel that is low cost. The project entitled “ETHANOL FUEL from BANANA PEELINGS” can help to solve this problem. This project will give us knowledge on how to make ethanol fuel from banana peelings that is renewable, easy to make, eco-friendly and can be afford in a low price.
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
This study is done to give importance to banana peeling. The research wanted to produce Ethanol Fuel out of Banana Peelings. Since Banana is abundant here in are municipality there will be a high number of peelings. The researchers wanted to know the effectivity of the banana peelings as Ethanol fuel.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
This study only focuses on the potential of Banana peelings as an ethanol fuel and answers the questions generally: 1. How can we make Ethanol fuel from Banana (Musa acuminata) Peelings?
Specifically, it aims to answer the following questions: 1. Does the Ethanol gas from Banana Peelings have the same quality as the commercial ones? 2. What properties does Banana Peelings contain for the production of fuel?
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This project plan is important because it reveals the potential of Banana peelings used as Ethanol fuel.
Likewise this study can give all of us knowledge on how to make ethanol fuel out of Banana Peelings.
SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
This study focuses only on Ethanol fuel from Banana peelings. The study was conducted at Bayorbor National High School and the Researcher’s house at Barangay Nangkaan, Mataas na kahoy, Batangas.
OBJECTIVES:
* To make an Ethanol fuel out of Banana Peelings that is cheap *
