| Summary: | Energy is an important essence of human's daily lives on earth. However, it was
found that we had been using energy excessively, especially fossil fuels that had
contributed to various problems on earth such as global warming phenomenon.
Pepper waste has a great potential to be transformed into renewable resource because
Malaysia is the fifth largest pepper producer in the world. This research paper
investigates whether converting pepper waste into renewable energy such as ethanol
and Biodiesel is feasible or not. The research paper had concluded that co-firing is the
best way to utilize pepper waste as a renewable resource at the present time after
thorough studies of other technologies such as boiler, gasification and anaerobic.
These technologies are compared in terms of cost, fesibility, compatibility and
efficiency. Besides that, the market model and potential problems that will be faced
during the implementation of pepper waste as a renewable resource are also
determined |
