Fuel Crisis Solution: Go Green with BioEthanol
The First generation Bioethanol fuels are neither cost effective neither did they contributed much to reduce the greenhouse gas emission. They also require huge amounts of food crops such as corn or sugarcane, this means that they can’t be produced in big quantities without threatening food supplies. But Second-generation bio-fuels can be the real alternatives for future and supply larger proportion of our fuel. Moreover as they don’t consume food biomass so they step aside from the ‘Food or Fuel’ debate, but the problem related to it is the extraction of Ethanol from such stuff.
But now the solution to this thing seems to have appeared and is time to Go Green to as a chemical company in England developed a method to produce ethanol in large quantities from municipal solid waste and other organic things. The waste is superheated and is then fed to bacteria that produces ethanol which is then purified to be used as fuel by cars. One ton of dried waste produces nearly 400 liters of Bioethanol, and it emits 90% less greenhouse gases.
Going Green with this type of production serves dual process, firstly it solves the problem of waste disposal and secondly a fuel which is very efficient. The first commercial plant is expected to be set up in 2 years. Car companies are looking forward to make engines that can run directly of this kind of fuel without and conversion processes. This will play a major part in the alternatives for fuel and also as a eco-friendly solution.
