Biomass to Biofuels
Abstract

Establishment of website,“valuable wastes”, to enhance productivity and “green method” of biomass to bio-fuels
Abstract
(type = summary)
Biomass is any waste that can be biologically degraded anaerobically or aerobically to produce bio-energy / “green” energy. Sadly its great potential are not used efficiently and all kinds of wastes end up in landfills where it greatly contributes to global warming. The decomposition of bio-waste releases methane gas into the atmosphere. Methane gas is considered a much more effective green house gas compare to carbon dioxide in the terms of its ability to trap heat. However, methane also is a major constituent of natural gas and some landfills use its emission as energy source. Even though municipal waste disposal is regulated by each State and individual county there are many illegal landfills and small unregulated farms, all negatively impacting our environment. For instance, food waste attracts wild life, which portrays a potential danger to humans and domesticated animals by carrying viruses like SARS and rabies. Soil and groundwater contamination, as well as air pollution are issue that could be reduced by the proper disposal of biodegradable waste to sites that make use of its potential. Therefore, it is important to manage biomass by collecting methane gas or recycle into other goods. Our project is to allocate the sources of biomass and create a network that can connect the sources with recycling stations or companies that would like to generate “green” energy from biomass.
