Bioethanol from municipal solod waste is a great project or business venture to involved with. Not just it helping and doing favor to the environment but generates income as well.

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Consists everyday items that we used and then throw away Solid waste generated in 2002 was 17,000 tones per day in Peninsular Malaysia Generation of solid waste expected to reach 30,000 tones per day in 2020
Landfills Site for the disposal of waste materials 291 landfill sites all over the country as at April 2007 (Nazri Yahya, National Solid Waste Management Department ) About 112 of these sites are not in operation 179 still operating (10 sanitary)

The world’s oil reserves will last for only 30 to 40 years. Depletion of source, oil drilling, complication in oil recovery increase the production cost.
1st generation bio-fuels Produced from food crops (corn ethanol, soy bio-diesel) Involved in multiple environmental effect
◦ GHG emissions ◦ Threats to global food supply.
2nd generation bio-fuels Produced from biomass Cheaper—raw materials from garbage Reduce pollution Lots of supply—raw materials generated daily and keep increasing Helps reducing waste Generate handsome amount of money
Solid waste is a major environmental problem in Malaysia 2008—23,000 tonnes produced daily Estimate 2017—30,000 t/d <5% is recycled Selangor alone, generated waste is expected to rise to 5700t/d in 2017
Our situation About 90% of wastes disposed to landfills, remaining either incinerated(2%),recycled (5%)or dumped illegally.
Currently, we have 291 landfills (as of April 2007)
◦ 179 open (10 sanitary) ◦ 112 not in operation
Per-capita waste generation rate per day for each state in Peninsular Malaysia (2002)
Gasification process
Ethanol production is commercially insignificant in Malaysia. There is an opportunity for ethanol production from MSW biomass but the technology is yet to be commercialized. From 2005 until 2011 the ethanol prices averaged in Chicago Board is $2.04 per gallon or RM 1.70 per liters

Table : World fuel ethanol demand (Millions m3) (Nyberg, 2004)
Millions of Gallons World Ethanol Production Forecast 2008 - 2012 by Country (Market Research Analysis, 2008)
Major findings of the World’s Ethanol Production Forecast 2008 - 2012: World’s ethanol production will pass 20 Billion gallons in 2012. Ethanol production is expected to grow in 2008 - 2012 with CAGR about 5%. U.S. and Brazil are leading the world in production of ethanol.
World ethanol price (The crop Site, 2010)
500 tons per day production of ethanol fuel: The plant operating cost = $1 794 000 per year, Feedstock cost =$5 054 400 per year, MSW classification =$600 000 per year Administration expenses =$892 942 per year. Total cost for the plant =$8 341 342 per year (Sakamoto, 2004)
The demand for ethanol fuel for 2010 is 0.1 million m3 or 85 622 MT/annum. The new plant will produce 200 MT/ day to fulfill the consumer. (200 MT / day) x (1167.9189 liter / MT) = 233 584 liter / day (RM 1.70 / liter) x (233 584 liter / day) x (365 day / year) x ($ / RM 3.14) = $ 46 158 876 / year $ 46 158 876/ year - $8 341 342 / year = $ 37 817 534 / year
