Production of Bio-Fuel & Bio-Plastic from Vegetable Waste as a Sustainable Waste Management

Abstract

Enlargement of different sectors like industrial, automobile etc. Depends upon the progressive demand of petroleum. Most of the petroleum are commonly known as Hydrocarbon. In Bangladesh, a huge amount of fuel needs to run these sectors, which are imported from overseas. Increasing the supply of fuel is a crying need now-a-days in Bangladesh. Due to economic, social and ecological reasons, several studies have been done in order to obtain alternative fuel sources. In this respect, fermentation, trans-esterification, pyrolysis of biomass, industrial, domestic waste and vegetable waste have been proposed as alternative solution for increasing the energy demand and environmental awareness. Among these different approaches, pyrolysis seems to be a simple and efficient method of fuel production. Bangladesh produces a huge amount of vegetables every year. A certain amount of vegetables are damaged due to bacteria, virus or transporting these from one place to another. Different types of ingredients can be decomposed from these vegetables by pyrolysis system. These ingredients are essential for different reactions to produce biofuels. Vegetable waste to biofuel production is a good way of sustainable waste management, which can also meet the demand of fuels in Bangladesh. For different types of industrial machineries, transports and gasoline enhancer, biofuels from vegetable waste can be used. A huge amount of currency can be saved if biofuel production will be industrialized in Bangladesh.
