The energy dependence on fossil fuels is no longer a solution for the future, and therefore, cleaner-renewable energy technologies is the way forward to a sustainable, energy efficient economy. This project aims for the effective reutilization of two major waste products of fuel industry, i.e., bioglycerol and sulfur, into a cleaner, cost-efficient energy technology. This will be achieved by, i) utilization of sulfur to produce efficient S-doped MWCNT electrodes; ii) utilizing bioglycerol as a renewable fuel; and iii) indirectly utilizing sulfur via peroxodisulfate as a novel glycerol oxidant in developing an electro catalytic “Bioglycerol-Peroxodisulfate fuel cell”. The reutilization of bioglycerol and sulfur into clean energy efficient technologies shall provide longevity to both the biodiesel and petroleum industry, while the development of bioglycerol- peroxodisulfate fuel cell could provide an alternative pathway to address the energy needs of the society, while simultaneously preserving the environment for development of a sustainable, energy sufficient society.
