Solid Waste Biofuel: An Overview

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Innovations in Mechanical Engineering

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering ((LNME))

Abstract

Gradually mounting pollution and temperature levels that are associated with the widespread dependency on fossil fuels are of major concern. This can be avoided by increasing the renewable and bio-energy usage. Waste that is generated from different industrial sectors especially solid waste has the potential to compete in energy industry. This paper focuses on the available technologies for processing of solid waste into biofuels and utilisation of these in internal combustion engines. The processing techniques, nature of fuel, emission and efficiency characteristics are presented in this paper.
