| Ethanol Fuel Production from Banana Waste Peelings | 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

How Modern Transport Fuels Effect our Environment Why is looking at alternate fuels important? There are several reasons‚ but the most important reason is that air pollution kills in the neighborhood of 3 million people every year and air pollution affects more than 1 billion people in a negative way. That ’s over 1/6 of the earths population being harmed by air pollution‚ that ’s a trend that cannot continue without extreme repercussions to everyone on the planet. Granted‚ air

“The use of fossil fuels‚ such as coal and oil‚ belongs to the past.” For the time being‚ the world is mostly dependent on the use of fossil fuels. All the infrastructure is fossil fuel based. i.e. if the world runs out of fossil fuels now‚ there won’t be any alternative energy source to power the entire world. Fossil fuels are usually found in rock formations containing fossils from decomposed animals and plants. The formation of fossil fuels happens in the course of hundreds of millions of years

1. What is in Gasoline? Gasoline is produced from a dark substance extracted from miles beneath the surface‚ called crude oil or petroleum. Millions of years ago‚ crude oil was created from fossil fuels of dead animals and plants that sank into the ocean’s bottom underneath rocks‚ dirt‚ and dust. Over time‚ the seclusion of corpses caused heat and pressure to increase instigating the bodies to decompose; and due to lack of oxygen‚ the remains formed mixture of chemical organic compounds made of hydrogen

Environmental Pollutants: Sewage and Fossil Fuels ENV/100 March 2013 Environmental Pollutants: Sewage and Fossil Fuels Environmental pollutants‚ according to the Blacksmith Institute (2013) negatively affect billions of the world’s population as a result of exposure to poisons associated with sewage and the fossil fuel crude oil. These poisons have led to long-term detrimental effects on ecosystems and has attributed to the premature deaths of 40% or 2.8 billion of the world’s

Can alternative energy effectively replace with fossil fuels? ‘’Fossil fuels are coal‚ natural gas and petroleum.’’ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_fuel) They are all organic residues. People use this for their energy‚ fuel and heating requirements. But fossil fuels polluting environment so much and people started to think about using alternative energy for their environment’s healthy. ‘’These alternative energy resources are windy power‚ solar energy and geothermal energy.‘’ (http://en

Coal is a solid fuel formed over millions of years by the decay of land vegetation. Over time‚ successive layers become buried‚ compacted and heated‚ a process through which the vegetation is turned into coal. This means that it’s not possible to keep it going since we can’t wait around for a few million years. Coal was the first fossil fuel to be exploited on a large scale during the 19th century with the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Production of these fossil fuels is expected to rise

Oil‚ or petroleum‚ is one of the most common fossil fuels utilized by people all over the world on a daily basis. Crude oil is a smelly‚ yellow-black‚ viscous liquid composed of mostly nitrogen‚ oxygen‚ and sulfur‚ which is

The distillate was lit to show that there really is alcohol in the product. As the results show‚ T2 has the greater yield than T1. Banana waste peelings can be an alternative source of ethanol which can be utilized as alternative source of fuel. METHODOLOGY 1.
