Problems

Thermal Inversion
Smog surrounds the Angel Monument in Mexico
City, Mexico, during a thermal inversion. Air
pollution increases dramatically when a mass of
cold air is trapped below a mass of warmer air.
The absence of air circulation prevents
pollution near Earths surface from escaping.

Energy Crisis
The use of fossil fuels these days are very
closely related to the problem of energy crisis.
Fossil fuels are formed and stored materials in
the earth that comes from animals and
microorganisms were buried millions of years.
Based on these facts, the fossil fuel is a fuel
that can not be renewed because it requires a
very long process in its formation

Meet Bagasse!
Bagasse is an industrial solid waste
from sugar cane containing cellulose
fiber and usually used as a raw
material for the paper industry
Bagasse waste not yet widely used.
This waste is one of the energy
sources potential and generally is a
cellulose material that can be
converted into ethanol
