Academics from Northumbria University have now teamed up with partners in the UK and Pakistan to create a new solution which will make use of this waste product and provide benefits for local people at the same time. Together the project partners are developing an innovative two-part system \u2013 the first part of which will use new technology to convert the banana waste into textile fibres, with the second part taking the waste generated from that process and using it to produce renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p>The process has the potential to be applied to almost any form of agricultural waste, meaning it could be used all over the world, benefitting communities and the environment through the supply of renewable textiles and energy. Funding through the scheme is awarded to support UK and overseas businesses and organisations to develop highly innovative, market-focused energy technologies that enable energy access in Sub-Saharan Africa and south or south-east Asia.<\/p>\n<p>It is estimated that the banana-growing industry in Pakistan produces around 80 million tonnes of agricultural waste every year. This could result in the production of over 57,488 million cubic meters of syngas, or synthesis gas as it is otherwise known, as well as 30 million tonnes of nitrogen-enriched biofertilizers. Syngas is a man-made gas which is created through chemical processes using waste products. It has a wide range of uses and is recognised as a greener way to generate electricity. The project is funded for one year, but with plans to further develop the partnership and project in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.northumbria.ac.uk\/pressreleases\/banana-waste-to-be-converted-to-green-textiles-and-energy-3335431\">Northumbria University<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-562\/\">Banana waste to be converted to green textiles and energy<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[15428,575,5196,5587],"class_list":["post-132610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-banana-waste","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-pakistan","tag-textiles"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132610","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132610"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132610\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132610"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132610"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132610"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
