Scientist Turns Plastic Bottles Into $78 Million of Biofuel

What do you do when a 16 year old scientist is about to change Egypt?! Morsi, i hope you are reading this?!

Sixteen year old Azza Abdel Hamid Falad, from the Zahran Language School in Alexandria, Egypt has figured out a way to make Egypt $78 million worth of biofuel each year.

Now that’s a number you don’t hear everyday, especially with everything that is going on in Egypt!

While this is a not a new idea, what makes Azza stand out from the crowd is the catalyst that she is proposing. She says that she has found a high-yield catalyst called aluminosilicate, that will break down plastic waste and also produce gaseous products like methane, propane and ethane, which can then bec onverted into ethanol.

Half of you are probably reading this and didn’t understand a word! To keep it simple she’s done it, she’s saving Egypt, and not only that, she’s getting rid of all the trash and turning it into money! (Dolla Dolla Bills ya’ll)

For now, Faiad is working through the Egyptian Patent Office to copyright her idea and eventually scale up the project.

We Said This: Makes you wonder doesn’t it? A 16 year old girl is saving Egypt and I’m sitting here just writing about it.
