Straw Make Biofuel alternative Power

Replace The Solar With a Straw

During this time, so only the straw after the rice is separated waste material to be processed rice. Even if there is a harness, straw is used for cleaning materials or handicrafts as well. Even so, the amount was not much and it finally just burned or so animal feed ingredients.

Now, with further research, turns straw can also be used as an alternative fuel is environmentally friendly. Remarkably, not only adds value, use of straw also prevents the release of carbon into the atmosphere when burned. Cycle of carbon into the atmosphere can be extended by turning them into biofuels.

This breakthrough has been ogled ethanol producer in China. Moreover, as one of the largest countries, each year about 230 million tons of straw thrown away. Therefore, there already exist three straw processing facilities have been built to date.

Even so, to process the straw is not easy. Cellulose-rich straw is not easy to unravel bacteria commonly used in the manufacturing process biomass. To that end, the researchers used an alkali solution of sodium hydroxide to soften it before fermentation or fermentation process. "All done at room temperature without additional energy, and need little water, so the whole process is simple, fast, cost effective, and environmentally friendly," said Xiujin Li from Beijing University of Chemical Technology.
