Generation of Bio-Diesel by Using Waterweeds A Case Study in Solapur City (Sambhaji Lake)

Worldwide unrefined petroleum generation is anticipated to decrease because of lack of non-renewable energy sources like petrol, diesel coal etc. The emanations of ozone harming substances and air contamination by deficient ignition of non-renewable energy sources have likewise brought about an expanded spotlight on generation of biofuel from dialect cellulosic biomass.

Improvement of ethanol as an engine fuel can work to satisfy this dedication. Greenhouse gas emission or ozone depletion reductions should be estimated on an annual basis. Where the levels from year to year change fundamentally, these ought to be indicated on a yearly premise. In the event that bioethanol from biomass is utilized to drive a light-obligation vehicle, the net CO₂ outflow is under 7%to 10% of that from a similar auto utilizing reformulated gas.

Currently biodiesel is becoming popular as an environmental friendly fuel. It has been used as in the automotive industry. A major source of energy for our society is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and natural gas. But these sources are found out to be in the limited amounts of available, so those are depleting resources. Bio fuel is much better lubricant than petro diesel and extends engine life. An attempt was made to produce biodiesel from water weeds and discuss technical, socio-economic, and environmental benefits of small scale biofuels such as improving energy access, generation and mitigating environmental pollution at both local and global levels. The obtained result indicated that waterweeds sample should variable sugar content (for 30% of H2SO4  sample) is 1 to 1.2 % and Alcohol content should found 2 to 2.4% from 1.5 Kg of waterweeds sample.

Thus the study has demonstrated systematic approach to collect, storage and disposal of water weeds in solid waste management system. With this study final end product in the form of diesel is possible. Biodiesel and bio-ethanol production is a alternative approach to fossil fuel.
