Description
Summary:To carry sugarcane Sonhira Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Ltd. Kadegaon, Maharashtra utilized 7,42,809 litres of diesel. This emits 6685.4 kg of CO sub(2), 24531.22 kg of NOx, 4459.94 kg of SO sub(2), 14856.48 kg hydrocarbon and aldehydes, 4531.22 kg of organic carbon and 11,855.20 kg of particulate matter as air pollutants in environment. The sugar factory will have big scope for bio-diesel production. If 50% land of the total cultivable land is allocated for Jatropha cultivation, it will produce 3,71,404.5 litres bio-diesel. This paper highlights the scope and potential of bio-diesel for reducing air pollutants during sugarcane transportation.
