Reap the Alternative Fuels from Waste Garden

It can not be denied that until now, the fossil fuel is the fuel most widely and most frequently used by all human beings in this world. Use of this type of fuel is higher and higher, along with the increased activity and the earth's population. The fact is what makes the world now are on two threats at once: the growing global warming as well as future energy scarcity due to reduced fossil fuel. Several solutions were offered by scientists began. One of the most effective and lively discussed is the use of alternative fuels. Alternative fuels bustling examined by scientists today usually come from renewable sources or can not be run like sunlight, water, wind, geothermal, and biomass.
Until now research on utilizing the generally renewable sources of energy would be enough, but not entirely effective and efficient. A recent scientific breakthroughs have been found a research team consisting of engineers in chemical engineering from the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed a machine that can produce a variety of hydrocarbons pyrolysis oil feedstock garden waste or the like. Yes, garden waste such as wood, twigs, branches, bark, grass, leaves, and other plant parts is a natural source of biomass which contain a lot of cellulose and bio-oil. A biomass pyrolysis process for this kind can extract bio-oil contained in it to the next can be recycled into a variety of hydrocarbon compounds. Pyrolysis is the thermal decomposition of organic materials without the presence of oxygen, so that the organic material contained therein is not oxidized. The research team has succeeded in creating a machine that can produce a variety of hydrocarbons more effectively and efficiently than the results of pyrolysis bio-oil as it can bring out a higher product yield. Resulting compounds such as benzene, toluene, xylene, various compounds of olefins (alkenes), and compounds of alcohol (such as methanol and ethanol). The compounds of hydrocarbons can be used as raw material for chemical or as an alternative energy source. The team estimates that if all of the chemical industry in the world can use the resulting compound biopirolisis this machine instead of using fossil fuels will be saving up to $ 400 billion each year. A very large number. The results of this study can certainly adds value to organic waste that is in our backyard garden or in other similar environments. Besides can be turned into compost, garbage can also produce a variety of chemical compounds that can be used as raw materials of chemical products and alternative energy sources
