A British scientist invented fuel from bananas Bashny.Net

A graduate student from Britain Joel Chaney at the University of Nottingham came up with a method of processing banana peels, stems, and leaves in an eco-friendly fuel, news agencies reported.
This idea came to him during his trip to Rwanda, where, as in the rest of Africa, bananas are used not just as a universal food product, but also as a raw material for the preparation of alcoholic beverages. As a result, banana is still a large number rind, leaves and branches, which themselves must not be burned in a furnace. On arrival in the UK, Joel has started experiments on the processing of waste from banana plantations in environmentally friendly fuels. The result of this work appeared this technology: first, you need to grind a banana peel, tree leaves and branches in one mass, then, to the obtained mixture, add sawdust, and distribute the resulting raw fuel into briquettes and then drying it. After two weeks of drying in the sun the fuel is ready to use.



Says the Creator of the "banana wood", when burned, they give smooth flow of heat, which is ideal to cook food and illuminate homes.
Today modern scientific developments enable to obtain biofuels from almost any available materials. For example, Australia has created a unit that runs on waste brewing.
