Two 11th standard girls from India- Najva Kadar and Nahla have proposed a novel method to convert garbage into petroleum and other useful products .

The plastic garbage along with coal is deposited in a specially designed chamber. Oxygen is passed into it. Through the process of gasification , carbon monoxide and hydrogen is produced. These gases are then purified. When purified ,silicate is obtained. Silicate can be used in the making of cement.

When carbon monoxide is purified , carbon dioxide is obtained. This gas is then allowed to combine with hydrogen chloride. This results in the production of hydrochains . Hydrochains are then purified at 450 degree Celsius leading to the production of various petroleum products.

Also the carbon dioxide and hydrogen can be used to rotate a turbine and produce electricity. The girls staged their wonderful idea in the Kerala state school science fair.
