Showcasing ZERO-WASTE ZERO-CARBON BUSINESS-MODEL (ZW-ZC-BM) through Banana Plantation wastes conversions:
We look at a project in which 200, 000 wasted banana stems (leaves and roots included) are converted into the following:
- Power (@ 24 x 300) ……………………………….. 550 KW
- Banana Fiber Substituted Molded Crockery ……. 110 T
- Molded Strand Boards (Wood substitute) ………. 7250 T
- Biofertilizer (solids) ………………………………….. 335 T
- “GREEN” sulfur ………………………………………. 6.44 T
- Bio-Water …………………………………………….. 12, 176, 570 L
- TOTAL VALUES ………………… $13.5 million (All Energy used insitu)
THIS IS A GREEN VENTURE
This Project aims at conversion/ recycling of locally available Renewable Resources into Energy, Engineered Materials, Biofertilizer and Non-fossil based Chemicals. The ultimate objective is to reduce the gap between the “rich” and “poor”, through village development … This Pilot project would offer full time jobs to not less than 150 local village people, thereby offset migration to the cities
ISSUES INVOLVED/ ADDRESSED
This is the Pilot plant that would show-case a new Socio-Techno-Commercial-Environmental business theme, having high growth potentials and high profitability. Locally available Renewable Resources (RR) and organic/ food wastes would be the starting materials, to be converted into non-conventional energy, engineering materials, alternate petrochemicals and biofertilizer. Issues addressed through this project are:
-
Global Warming is addressed through Clean-Tech products/ Energy, using Renewable Resources (RR)
-
Poverty is addressed through wealth creation utilizing local RR, in village areas
-
Need of Clean Electricity is addressed through utilization of RR (mainly organic matter and wastes)
-
Need of substitutes for wood and fossil based engineering materials is addressed, through Composites
-
CO2-sequestered into Carbon Sink Engineered Products (CSEP), replaces regular building materials
-
Total recycling of non-toxic organic matter provides Biofertilizer and recyclable Bio-water
-
The UN MDG’s are addressed through wealth creation in rural areas, without environmental degradation
