Petrol from Tissue Paper

Petrol made from Tissue paper

Petroleum is basically a very necessary product in this century and is used for many purposes, it is not only used as a fuel but in making medicines, plastics and various other products which we make use of in our daily life.

Tissue Paper

Now talking about that whether petrol can be made from tissue paper might be surprising but yes now it is possible to make petrol from tissue paper, not exactly tissue paper but by using tissue paper waste we can now make petrol.  Petrol Is a very important fuel without which technological advances might be stopped but now a girl in Pakistan did her thesis  of B.sc in making petrol (bioethanol to be more specific) from tissue paper waste and she turned out to be successful.

The bioethanol which she produced can be used in car engines and thus can be used as an alternative. Bioethanol is better than petrol because it is an environment friendly fuel which means that less pollutants would be released into the environment, according to her when bioethanol is used about 80%-90% less greenhouse gases are released into the environment thus it would be an ideal fuel since it would not prove that much harmful to the environment.

According to her 150 ml of petrol (bioethanol) can be made from using 1 kg of tissue paper waste. Which means that huge quantities could be made if the manufacturing of petrol from tissue paper waste is done at a large scale.

Do you think that it is better to use petrol made from tissue paper rather than crude oil?
