LIMITED ACCESS OF CRUDE OIL

 

Crude oil accounted for nearly 90 percent of global energy consumption in 2000 and are projected to remain the dominant energy source throughout the 21st century, supplying 70-to-80 percent of energy demand in 2100. There are also other application of crude oil, however, as we all know, crude oil is a non-renewable source, which means, at one point the amount of crude oil would not be enough to satisfies their demand. The impact of this situation on our company is the loss of out raw material. For recent years shows that many studies has been conducted to search for the best alternative of cured oil that sustain longer.  Highly potential alternative for crude oil in ethylene production is Biomass. 

​

Biomass is fuel that is developed from organic materials, a renewable and sustainable source of energy used to create electricity or other forms of power.  Some examples of materials that make up biomass fuels are:

• scrap lumber;

• forest debris;

• certain crops;

• manure; and

• some types of waste residues.

With a constant supply of waste – from construction and demolition activities, to wood not used in paper making, to municipal solid waste – green energy production can continue indefinitely.

​

Ethylene can be derived from biomass through production of ethanol. Biomass is converted to ethanol and later converted o ethylene.
