Summary: 

Carbon Dioxide, plastic, and polythene are very much responsible for air, soil and water pollution. Analysis shows that people who live in high-density air pollution areas have a 20% higher risk of dying from lung cancer, than people living in less polluted areas. Statistics show that composting and recycling alone have prevented 85 million tons of waste to be dumped in 2010. Considering these important facts, this paper provides a solution which can recycle carbon dioxide and plastic, polythene into fuel.

To save our environment, we have been working on this project called c-fuel for the last 4 years. Our main objective is to convert Carbon Dioxide into CNG where cars and industry are our target audience. Then, our second objective is to convert plastic and polythene into diesel.

The project brief and lab data is available at: https://github.com/Adilhossain227/Cfuel_capsulhack

Sustainable Development Goals:

  • Affordable and Clean Energy

  • Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure

  • Climate Action

Skills & Resources Needed:

  • We mostly need research facility and to buildup the plastic based ecosystem we need wide range of applicable in filed accelerator programs so that we can implement the system we were in research.

  • We further want to develop smart plastic collection system based on mobile app , in this case we might need development facility on app.

  • We also focus on ensuring the following points All this implementations need industry collaboration. So we are hoping for building industry based communication.

Post-Capsule Goals:

  • Incubator Program

  • Launching Your Own Startup

  • Private Research Program

  • University Partnership or Collaboration

Project Motivation:

We have been doing our research internally. We think its the right time to reveal our research so that it can help us to use fossil fuels with more efficiency and sustainably.
