Abstract : Due to the oxidation of CO2, SO2, and NOX, a depletion of fossil fuels has been occurring which develops an environmental impact as time goes by. Bioethanol has grown in popularity not just as a chemical feedstock, an industrial solvent, or a beverage, but also as a vehicle fuel option in recent years. Thus, this study will introduce the feasibility of pineapples (Ananas Comosus) as an ethanol substrate in comparison with other documented feedstocks in the Philippines. The researchers will conduct an experiment that will introduce the feasibility of pineapples with the help of data gathered from past studies. The experiment will include major processes which are extraction, dilution, sugar adjustment, pH adjustment, chemical pasteurization, aerobic and anaerobic fermentation, siphoning, distillation, and observation days to come up with the desired data and be able to compare it with the other bioethanol produced. In addition to that, such guidance was sought by the Department of Science and Technology. Thus, the effectiveness and success of the experiment will help eliminate the contribution of pollution with the introduction of pineapple’s bioethanol components and further avoid using fossil fuel. Within the comparative analysis made, future researchers can rely on the study made for a greener community we all aspire to have.
