Energy sources are very limited throughout the world. Fossil fuel is one of the sources of energy but the amount of it is decreasing everyday. The consumption rate is much higher than the production rate of fossil fuel. If the consumption of the energy sources continues at the current rate, there won't be any left to spare in the future. Furthermore, the evaporated gas released from burning the fossil is very harmful to the environment. Due to these harmful gases being released into the atmosphere, the climate is changing drastically. Around the world, people are trying to find alternates to these limited energy sources. Solar, Wind, Biomass, Hydropower etc. have been presented to overcome the energy limitation issue. Natural State Research Inc. has developed a new energy source from abundant waste plastic that can be converted to various types of liquid hydrocarbon fuel. This unique NSR fuel has shown the capability to run all kind of combustion engines; it can also run any type of generator to produce electricity. In addition, the emission released from burning the NSR fuel is much less compared to the current commercial fuel. The fuel will be produced at a lower cost compared to fossil fuel because the NSR fuel derives from waste plastic.
