Biofuels is the promising source of energy for future fuel requirements. Biodiesel can be established from growing plants which naturally contains oil namely Jatropha, palm oil, and algae. Bioethanol can be extracted from sugar crops like sugarcane, sugar beet, maize, corn and so on by yeast fermentation. Wood products can also be transformed into Biofuels.
The gotten Biofuels from these products consists of both benefits and downsides.
Advantages of Biofuels:
Ecological Benefits: The main expectation of using the biofuel is to be carbon neutral, less of CO and Sulfur, as it is made from natural resources, and it is eco-friendly and pure fuels so it benefits cars. It reduces the green house considerably compared to other fossil fuels.
First generation biofuels can conserve carbon emissions about 60% compared to fossil fuels whereas the second generation biofuels are better than first generation fuels. It provides carbon emission savings as much as 80%. Recently, UK Government publication mentioned that biofuels can reduce emissions by 50-60%. Efficiency of the engine increases by using biodiesel as the lube.
Economical: The biofuel's cost decreases substantially if the biofuel production innovation spreads worldwide. The biofuels are developed in your area which immediately boosts the rural development as the innovation depends mainly on manual power. The rapid boost of biofuel concurrently increases the production of these oil crops which stimulates the agricultural industry. The UK federal government has actually revealed that it reduces the tax for vehicles which are environmentally friendly. Additionally, the durability of the engine increases while utilizing these combustible fuels in engines.
Renewability and Degradable: The biofuels are made from crops which are renewable and it is naturally degradable and more secure to handle and less harmful than nonrenewable fuel sources.
Disadvantages of Biofuels:
Environmental Alarm: Adapting more lands for planting crops for biofuel extraction will got rid of more environments. More forests have been destroyed in Asian countries for the plantation. The producing system of these biodiesel certainly requires fossil fuels which produces more carbon emissions. High preliminary investment is required for the biodiesel production.
Odour: Certain biofuel crop produces heavy smell those smells are normally unfavorable and biofuels plants can not be setup near the large communities.
Food and water Requirements: Some biofuel crops such as corn oil, palm oil are edible for cooking
