1.INTRODUCTION
This project entails production of fuel from biological waste products majorly from peels of fruits, such as lemon,
bananas and eggshells and potentially turning them into fuel and the remain waste making use of them by
developing fertilizers. It will have a significant impact in waste management in urban centres and help in
decreasing carbon emission from decomposing of these biological wastes from their dumping sites. The biogel
product will be a very cheap alternative source of energy that is environmental friendly with 10 folds abilities to
solve garbage management and carbon emission from fuel and biological wastes in developing countries such as
sub-Saharan Africa and south East Asia that majorly depends on traditional methods of energy such as oil and
firewood’s that have significant environmental repercussion. The projected is expected to fully complete by the
end of this year. A scope management plan is an outline of what the project intends to do; it’s like a guideline of the project
activities and helps to ensure that the project remains within the initial plan.

PPROACH
The biogel project activities will be presided over by the project manager who will be responsible for daily
monitoring and provision of leadership of the project. The scope statement, work breakdown structure dictionary
and the work breakdown structure will define the scope of activities for this project. It will be responsibility of
multi-disciplinary team consisting of the project sponsor, project manager and other partners to evaluate and
approve any form of documentation required for assessing the scope of the project activities such as checklist of
items to be measured, key deliverables of the project and key performance indicators assessment. in case of any
amendments to the scope, the project team. the proposed changes from the management team must be submitted to
the project manager, who will review the suggested changes to the scope before giving an okay to the
implementation. Once the project manager has reviewed the proposed amendments to the scope of the projected
and satisfied beyond doubts that the changes in question are attainable, the project manager will then submit the
proposed amendments to the project Change Control Board and eventually to the project donors for adoption.
Once the proposed amendments are approved by the project change control board and the project donors, the
project leader will then draft and update all the new changes in all official documents of the project and make
communication regarding change of the project scope to all stakeholders of the project. The project donor will
then evaluate all inputs and feedbacks from the team and stakeholders before accepting the project scope and
deliverables.

SCOPE DESCRIPTION
The project scope for this business was arrived at after thorough collection of essential elements of the
project. The initial stage in collection of this facts was through conducting analysis on the current menace
caused by biological waste in the dumping sites, the environmental impact and how these challenges can be
turned into a fortune to the society in terms of improving livelihoods across cities and the environmental
impact it will have to the community at large, firsthand information was collected from a survey conducted to
the communities living near the dumping sites and how they are coping with the challenge of the biological
waste, a sample of the waste was taken to biotechnology laboratory where different tastes were run on
different biological waste. The findings of these tests prompted the project team to draft a project
documentation requirement, management requirement plan and development of the project production model.
The project deliverables and definitions were harmonized from the requirement collection process data,
health and hazard analysis data and biotechnological findings from the laboratory on components of different
biological waste products and reports from the challenges the community around the dumping sites
encounters on daily basis. The laboratory analysis of these biological waste materials and how the hazardous
components emitted from these wastes can be turned into a fortune and solution to the environmental
pollution was groundbreaking. The new findings of the bio-fuel generated from these biological waste has potential to reduce carbon
emission in the environment by 90% compared to the traditional mode of energy from oil and fire woods and
sustainable waste management chain in the dumping sites.
5.
BOUNDARIES AND EXCLUSIONS
This project entails collection and utilization of biological waste products from egg shells, fruit peels for
oranges, bananas, pawpaw’s and vegetables wastes, fermenting them and collecting methanol and ethanol
gels from them and refining them to produce a gel fuel that is smoke free. The project only incorporates
biological wastes within the communities in the dumping sites, or locally available biological waste raw
materials, the project operations are only limited within Australian boundaries . No additives with potential
health effects will be added, raw materials outside our area of operations will not be accepted as our project is
purely reduction in carbon emission and promoting safe and healthier environment across our cities. The
hypothesis of this project is that there will be full support from the project management team, stakeholders
like the community around and the project sponsors who will provide necessary technical and financial
support for successful running of our operations until we accomplish our objectives. The most likely challenge we may encounter is inadequate funding to oversee the technical operations, how
to maneuver around the political interests from the ruling class for their political ambitions and the
procedures to patent our innovation and market our products not only here in Australia but across Sub-
Saharan Africa and Middle East where environmental challenge caused by the biological wastes from the
dumping sites is despicable. 6.DELIVERABLES
The BIO-GEL project intends to produce bio-fuel from biological waste products that will have the
following significant milestones to the community:
Bio-fuel with low carbon emission
The alkanol fuel will reduce carbon emission from biological wastes by 90%
The bio oils with mosquito repellant abilities
Hand sanitizer
Biological oil ( anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties)
The bio-fuel will have abilities to refresh the household environment.
Manufacture of organic fertilizer from the organic waste of the bio-gel processing.
Sustainable alternative cheap source of energy
Sustainable waste management
7.ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
The minimum thresholds that must be attained for the product to be accepted includes the following;
Bio-gel fuel must have less than 10% carbon emission to the environment.
The bio-gel fuel must be made from locally available raw materials.
The Bio-gel must be produced from biological waste product.
Bio-gel must meet the minimum threshold of sustainable energy regulation of the international
environmental agencies.
Must have direct impact benefit in controlling biological waste menace at the dumping site at the
same time improve livelihoods of locals.
Must be financial friendly to run
The bio-fuel must not be expensive to buy.
Bio-fuel must be sustainable. 8. CONSTRAINTS

The Bio-gel production plant will only deal with collection of biological waste remains of fruits, vegetables and
egg shells as the main raw material for production, these raw materials must be collected within the community or
cities of our operations within Australian boundaries. Once the Bio-gel fuel and other products such as bio-oils
and organic fertilizers are produced, they will be sold back to the community at a very small and affordable fee to
help improve the livelihoods of the community within the operation. However, the Bio-gel plant will not accept raw materials from outside our areas of operations. our operations are
currently limited in Australian boundaries. 9.

CHANGE CONTROL PROCESS
Change control id a methodology used to manage change requests for projects and big
initiatives globally. Change control entails the following steps.
Change request initiation Here a change is made from the project stakeholders e.g. to improve efficiency in
production unit due to periodic delays , the proposed changes are then filled on a request
form by the team member who further updates the information in the change log with
specific information regarding the proposed change and submit the change to the project
manager.
Change request assessment Once the proposed amendments have been filled out in the official documents and
submitted and approved by the management, the proposed request will be reviewed by the
project manager and change control team. if the changes proposed are valid, it will then
move to the net stage which is analysis
Change request analysis Here the proposed change will be evaluated with a team of expert who will give a final
verdict of whether to approve or reject the proposed change.
Change request implementation Once the proposed change has been reviewed and approved, the change process moves to
the implementation stage of the proposed amendments. Information regarding the change
will then be send to the project sponsor for approval. Once the change has been approved,
the project manager will then document and communicate the change to the team.
Change request closure After change documentation, communication and dissemination and implementation, the
request will be closed
