(6) INTRODUCTION
In recent times, the world has been confronted with an energy crisis
due to the depletion of fossil fuel reserves and increased environmental
problems. The tremendous use of petroleum products is responsible for the
alarming pollution of the environment. This situation has led to the search
for an alternative fuel, which should not be only suitable but also
environment friendly. Fuels of bio-origin such as ethanol, vegetable oil,
biomass, biogas, and many more are becoming the focus of attention. With
shrinking crude of reserves and limited refining capacity, the world will have
to depend heavily on imports of crude oil. From the point of view, protecting
the global environment and the concern for long-term supplies of
conventional fuels, it becomes imperative to develop alternate fuels
comparable to conventional fuels.
Biofuels are the only alternative. Biofuels include fuels derived from
biomass conversion, as well as solid biomass, liquid fuels, and various
biogases. Although fossil fuels have their origin in ancient carbon fixation,
they are not considered biofuels by the generally accepted definition because
they contain carbon that has been out of the carbon cycle for a very long
time.
Biofuels are fossil fuel substitutes that can be made from a range of
agricultural crops and other sources of biomass, it is also a hydrocarbon fuel
that is produced from organic matter in a time interval of days, weeks or even
months. They are produced from organic waste, common commercially used
biofuels, bioethanol, biodiesel and biomethane. It is derived from biological
carbon fixation, it can reduce carbon footprint. Biofuels have been used to
replace carbon-based fossil fuels due to the effect of pollution to the
atmosphere and global warming. It is a fuel that is made from biomass or
plant material. Biofuel is being heavily refined as it emits significantly less
carbon dioxide than fossil fuels.
Any fuel that is derived from biomass, that is plant or algae material or
animal waste. In the 1890s, Rudolf Diesel was the first person who made
biofuel from vegetable oil.
(6.1) RATIONALE/SIGNIFICANCE
The project “ Banana peels and Apple Pomace as alternative sources for
the Production Of Bio-fuel” Is intended to be used to adapt and improvise for
the rising of gas prices. This project intends to lower the gas prices and let
our country provide our fuel and gases for ourselves and do not depend on
other country providing gases for us.
Based on the studies of Alula Gebregergs (2016). Ethanol can be
extracted from banana peel. The researchers would like to prove it and test it
and if possible make it a source of fuel that can power cars. According to
Alula buying and exporting fuels is too expensive. If we produce fuel for
ourselves, we could save money and even sell it to other countries. In recent
months, gases spiked because of the tension between Russia and Ukraine
and we cannot keep on depending on Russia to produce fuel for us.
(6.3) OBJECTIVES
General:
The objective of the study is to provide cheap and efficient fuel for
everyone while also cleaning our environment. If the researchers successfully
provided this kind of fuel our gas prices could go down 85% from what it is
now. Now how the researchers tell that it would go down by 85%, because the
researchers will use 85% ethanol extracted from the vegetable and fruit waste.
And if 15% gasoline is added, it could theoretically power a machine or better,
a car. Fuel/Gasoline is now also in demand in the market. Why do gas prices
are going up? Well, it is because of the tension between Ukraine and Russia,
that NATO cut off the ability of Russia in exporting gasoline/Fossil fuels, it
made the gasoline prices higher because of the lack of sources of fossil fuels.
Biofuel, is any fuel that is derived from biomass that is, plant or algae
material or fruit waste. Since such feedstock material can be replenished
readily, biofuel is considered to be a source of renewable energy, unlike fossil
fuels such as petroleum, coal, and natural gas, biofuels are a reliable
alternative energy resource.
With more development and research, it is possible to overcome the
disadvantages of biofuels and make them suitable for widespread consumer
use. The feedstock inputs you need for biodiesel are more expensive than
petroleum. On top of that, the processes for producing the fuel aren't yet
efficient enough that you can produce it very cheaply.
That’s why biofuels are not very popular but sure they still help more if
it’s used. From the banana peels and apple pomace as an alternative for
bioethanol/ biofuel these Biofuels Benefits and Considerations. Biofuel is a
domestically produced, clean-burning, renewable substitute for petroleum
diesel. Using biofuel as a vehicle fuel increases energy security, improves air
quality and the environment, and provides safety benefits.
(8) METHODOLOGY
Materials
Banana peels are lignocellulosic agricultural waste that has the
potential to produce bioethanol as a renewable form of energy. And apple
pomace is an excellent feedstock for producing ethanol that could either be
used as biofuel or biogas. And 15% of gasoline so that it can run vehicles.
Methods
The efficiency of three pretreatment techniques namely water, alkaline,
and acidic pretreatments on the production of bioethanol. We applied the
same technique using H2SO4 to all the pretreatment techniques, The results
will show the highest reducing sugar concentrations when banana peels were
pretreated with acid; pretreatment using water alone gave the lowest reducing
sugar concentrations. We will use an activated strain of S.Cerevisiae to
convert the reducing sugars to bioethanol via a three-day fermentation
process. The bioethanol concentrations detected by GC-FID from the water,
acidic, and alkaline pretreatments were 40 ppm, 60 ppm, and 80 ppm
respectively. It was evident that obtaining a high concentration of reducing
sugars after hydrolysis does not guarantee bioethanol production.

• Technology
This experiment would have a huge impact on technologies, It will also be used
on each machine and tech if it becomes a success, it can also help reduce the
carbon footprint of transportation and other industries.
