You will write a report (500 words) on your group’s
discussion.
In the report, you will:
A)
propose how you
can contribute as a specialist to realize your group’s master plan, and
B)
propose a title
of research paper related to the master plan.
In my group's discussion, we
talk about how to make sustainable energy by planning about background problem
of sustainable energy can be described as follows: When the population
increases the demand for energy (1) and food increased because people need energy
(2) and food, to be strong so that the amount of increase in impact on
environmental such as waste overflowing, etc.., so it should solve the
problem by taking the volume of waste to those benefits. Other agents, such
as the starch, the sugar cane to produce Bio-Ethanol, etc.., and if there is
a by-product, it can be used to process other possibilities, such as brewing,
by-product is Carbon dioxide, which is used in the production of soda, etc..,
so that the amount of energy (2), which will increase the amount of energy
(1) that was originally aimed at the needs of the population and the
sustainable energy. (Show the Figure 1)
So, we can think about the
MASTER PLAN is Biomass and Waste as Future Energy Resources by Considering
the Reduce the use of Energy from Non-Renewable Energy Sources by increasing
the use of renewable energy resources especially biomass and waste such as
Import of waste from the agricultural process sold to the Waste bank to
exchange your purchase - sale of waste. The waste that has come to biomass
and biogas. Biomass and biogas can be used to substitute fossil causing heat
used to combustion to produce electricity. Alternatively, biomass can be used
to produce bio-ethanol used to combustion to fuel in cars, produce Gasohol, etc.
(Show the Figure 2)
After that, we explain about the
Heat Power Plant by used to Co-firing method. (Source: Based on US EPA,
2007). Co-firing is a near term, low-cost option for efficiently and cleanly
converting biomass to electricity by adding biomass as a partial substitute
fuel in high-efficiency coal boilers. Co-firing reduces emissions of CO2,
Reduces of sulfurous gases such as SO2 that will reduce acid rain.
(Show the Figure 3)
Biomass is a renewable organic resource of plant-derived material,
excluding fossil resource. In a limited sense, the term refers to livestock
excreta, waste wood, and plant residue after the removal of edible parts.
Biomass represents organic materials that plants produce through
photosynthesis from atmospheric CO2 and water, and thus does not
increase atmospheric CO2 when burned. (Source: Honda Motor Co.,
Ltd., 2006)
Bio-Ethanol Production (Source: U.S. Department of Energy and Renewable
Fuels Association). Bio-Ethanol is a natural product and is manufactured by
the fermentation of plants containing sugar and starch. In our plants we
produce bioethanol from renewable raw materials and from raw alcohol of
agricultural origin. (Source: Crop Energies AG, 2011). The process consists
of the following operations; First, Pre-treatment to separate cellulose from
soft-biomass Second, Saccharification of cellulose and hemicellulose. Third,
Conversion of sugar into ethanol using microorganisms, And Finally, Ethanol
refinement. (Show the Figure 4)
And Ethanol production from soft-biomass including inedible leaves and
plant stalks such as rice straw has entered into the mass production phase of
research at the Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth
(RITE) and Honda R&D Co., a subsidiary of Honda Motor responsible for
research and development. Honda will begin producing flex-fuel cars capable of
running solely on bioethanol-E100. Honda had earlier stated in its Annual
Report 2006 that it was developing a flex-fuel vehicle for the Brazilian
market that operates on any gasoline-ethanol mixture up to E100, and that it
expected the vehicle to go on sale this year. Honda will become the first
Japanese automaker to manufacture an E100 vehicle. Toyota has said that it
will introduce E100 flex-fuel vehicles to the Brazilian market in 2007
In conclusion, that the first,
the sustainable use of fossil fuels and land resources; Biomass and waste can
reduce non-renewable energy consumption, Biomass and waste can be as
sustainable energy. Second, Environmental monitoring; Biomass can reduce Green
House Gas (GHG) emission. And Finally, Sustainable development in urban and
rural areas; Waste from rural and urban area can be reduced, Provide jobs
opportunity in rural area, May provide independent energy for urban and rural
area.
