The importance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the development of the market for alternative fuels from waste

Abstrakt

The article "The importance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the development of the market for alternative fuels from waste" by Andrzej Habryń, MSc, presents the key role of AI in the transformation of the alternative fuels sector. Artificial intelligence improves production processes, optimizes waste management and supports the development of more efficient methods of processing raw materials. Thanks to the use of image recognition technology and sensors, it is possible to sort waste precisely, which increases the efficiency of recycling. AI algorithms allow for the optimization of raw material and energy consumption, minimizing costs and environmental impact. The article also discusses specific applications of AI, such as optimizing the transesterification process in biodiesel production, smart waste management systems, and the use of mineral catalysts in plastic pyrolysis. AI also enables data analysis and forecasting of market trends, making it easier to strategically plan and adapt production to changing demand. The presented case studies, m.in solutions from ZenRobotics or Canadian waste treatment installations, confirm the effectiveness of AI in supply chain management and optimization of recycling processes. While there are many benefits, AI implementation comes with challenges such as high upfront costs, integration with existing systems, and the need to ensure data security. Future AI developments in the alternative fuels sector could focus on further improving algorithms, better utilisation of waste, and integration with renewable energy sources. AI has the potential to significantly increase operational efficiency and contribute to a more sustainable use of resources, making it a key element in the future of energy and environmental protection.
