Compare the efficiency of banana peels, peel briquettes and coal in order to evaluate environmentally friendly fuels.
S
Grow three different types of grasses and then determine which grass produces the most biomass and therefore, will produce the most energy. R Determine if the energy in a biofuel is equivalent to the energy in the same amount of nonrenewable fuel. R Is the amount of heat energy (gas) used less when there are more kids in the school?

Compare the energy efficiencies and enviromental friendliness of biofuels and fossil fuels.
S
See if green algae can be tricked into producing H(2) via photosynthesis and the optimal conditions for maximum production. R Determine what type of biomass: acidic, basic, or neutral mixed with cow manure will improve the production of biogas. R Oxidation Stability of Jatropha Oil S What Factors Increase the Growth of Oil-producing Microalgae Cultivated in Photo Bioreactors? R Improvement of jatropha oil properties like cloud point. S How relative position in a plant effects fuel moisture percentage. R What is biofuel? R S If methanogenic bacteria are subjected to anaerobic conditions than it will result in the production of methane which could be used as a possible clean, alternative energy source (biogas). R S Build and demonstrate your own biomass (biogas) generator. R R R R R R R Pine Needles and Oak Leaves as a Source of Renewable Energy R Which common gasoline alternative fuel is the most efficient in cost and caloric content including wood, vegetable oil, animal fats, and natural gas. R R Determine which fireplace fuels work most efficiantly to heat a room for the least amount of time, energy, and money. R What Type of Fuel Has the Greatest Energy per Unit Mass? R R R Use the energy in a peanut to heat water R

Produce biogas from jatropha cake using cow dung and find out which ratio between cow dung and jatropha cake would produce the greatest amount of biogas.
S
Investigate ways to prolong the operational lifespan of dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) S Produce Cellobiose Dehydrogenase from fungi Trametes versicolor in a exogenous expression system, either in E.coli or in transgenic tobacco plants. The recombinant CDH obtained from this project could be used in a cellulase cocktails to more efficiently degrade lignocellulose materials. S Optimizing Microbial Fuel Cell Output by Varying Relative Surface Area R Determine if bacteria expresses an elevated growth rate when aged and stressed in a MFC and if this is accompanied by enhanced current production. R Prepare ethanol from Jatropha cake by fermentation. S Improve Jatropha Oil Extraction Procedure and Optical Density (OD) Procedure S Maximizing the Production of Ethanol from Corn Starch R Which is more effeicient: photovoltaic technology or crop biomass (ethanol and biodiesel) sources (insolation conversion). R Parameters Affecting the Conversion of Solar Energy to Grass Biomass R R Optimization of Biomass Conversion: Pilot Study Evaluation of the Use of Low-Grade Steam to Reform Methane R R Determine how efficient certain biofuels are in comparison to diesel fuel and whether using new or used oil in the making of the biofuels alters their efficiency. R What used cooking oil would run a lawn edger the longest? R Describe alternative energy sources and outline advantages and disadvantages of any source.
