Abstract
Waste-to-energy technologies promise to displace organic waste, including wastewater, livestock, and food waste, for energy use while the global population has risen and more countries have industrialized, and the amount of waste that is disposed of or released for environmental use has steadily increased over the last century. Growing demand for fossil fuels worldwide is harmful to human health and leads to the emission of greenhouse gases. Food waste is easily spread around the world without the use of landfills or incinerators. Nonetheless, this food waste is rich in many nutrients and can be altered to value-added possessions, such as biofuels, using suitable technology. Around the similar period, the growing waste production, combined with increasing population besides existing standards, is a universal challenge for waste managing arrangements. Bioethanol is important for economic and environmental applications in the automotive, beverage, pharmaceutical, and other industries. Biological ethanol processing has been carried out using cellulose materials such as cocoa, pineapple and sugarcane waste, coffee husk, and lactose/cheese/whey hydrolyzed strains. However, such waste may also contain naturally occurring pollutants which may adversely affect the soil or water in which it is deposited.
