Done By Group : KHA_Alpha8 School Name : Khalifa Independent Secondary School for Boys. Biodegradable Materials: is a substance that degrades into smaller nontoxic parts that are returned to the environment and may be reused by organisms. there are so many applications around us for Biodegradable materials like : Surgical Sutures , Plastic bag . our Idea:Biomass Energy station in Qatar. A Balance Between Development Needs and Protecting the Environment, Qatar National Vision 2030 so we Dreamed that we have Biomass Energy station in Qatar so that we can reduce the waste thought the landfills and produce energy by Methane fermentation .

2. Introduction
Activity 1: Comparing Packing Materials
Activity 2: Hunting For Biodegradable Objects
Activity 3: Processing Biodegradable Materials
And Comparing Their Mechanical Properties
Activity 4: Measuring The Degradation Rates
Of Biodegradable Materials
Design Project: Designing a Medicine-
Delivery Device
Product Idea: Biomass Energy Station

3. Biodegradation: is the chemical dissolution of
materials by bacteria or other logical means.
Biodegradable Material : is broken down by
natural processes into smaller, nontoxic parts
that are returned to the environment.

4.  Using eggs and Biodegradable
packing and non-Biodegradable
packing materials.

5.  Both materials are effective in protecting
eggs
 Biodegradable packing peanuts dissolve
in water.
Conclusion

6. Objects that
should be
Biodegradable Reasons
Objects that
shouldn’t be
Biodegradable Reasons
Surgical Sutures In order to
dissolve in the
body
Car body
So that when it
rained the body
does not
decompose
Plastic bag
In order to
decompose after
disposal
Laptop
We will lose all
data
Toilet paper
To decompose
after disposal Orthodontic
In order not to
degrade in the
saliva
Peat pots
To reduce the

We will lose all

15.  A Balance Between Development Needs and Protecting the
Environment, Qatar National Vision 2030
 The State of Qatar has one of the highest
waste generation rates worldwide. In 2012, Qatar generated
8,000 tons of solid waste daily (this is excluding construction
waste which amounts to 20,000 tons additional waste per
day). This number is predicted to reach 19,000 tons/day in
2032, with an annual growth rate of roughly 4.2%.1 Most of
these wastes end up in landfills – in 2012, more than 90% of
Qatar’s solid waste were sent to landfills although the
government is doing its efforts to reduce this amount. This
percentage is extremely high compared to many
industrialized countries in Europe and Asia (e.g. Austria,
Denmark, Netherlands and Japan) where less than 10% of
solid waste are disposed of in landfills. These countries
have high recycling rates, have invested in technologies that
convert waste into energy

16.  Biomass: is the material derived from plants that use
sunlight to grow which include plant and animal material
such as wood from forests, material left over from
agricultural and forestry processes, and organic industrial,
human and animal waste.
 Sources of Biomass:
 Biomass comes from a variety
of sources including wood from
natural forests, agricultural
residues, agro-industrial wastes
, animal manure,
organic industrial wastes

17.  Methane fermentation is the key technology for the
methane production. Organic substances contained in
biomass are dissolved and turned in to methane by
germs that perform anaerobic-digestion. Methane
fermentation is the best for food-waste because food-
waste has much moisture and various kind of organic
component

18.  Biomass reduces emissions and enhances carbon
sequestration since short-rotation crops or forests
established on abandoned agricultural land
accumulate carbon in the soil
 Biomass can play a major role in reducing the
reliance on fossil fuels by making use of thermo-
chemical conversion technologies
 the increased utilization of biomass-based fuels
will be instrumental in safeguarding the
environment
 generation of new job opportunities
 sustainable development and health
improvements in rural areas
 When compared with wind and solar energy,
biomass plants are able to provide crucial, reliable
base load generation

19.  Our dream that we can see this project on the
land of our country Qatar to save the
environment and produce new source of
energy according to Qatar National Vision
2030.

20. After our experience with Al-bairaq :-
1-Provide alternative raw materials.
2- The acquisition of laboratory skills.
3- Realizing the vision of Qatar 2030.
4- Establish more factories that contribute to the
increase in production.
5- Reduce the state's dependence on oil and gas and
to find alternative sources of income.

21. Thanks for teachers, friends, and our
school that supported us during our
journey in Al-bairaq project.
Thanks for Al-bairaq Team and all our
sponsers.
