Biofuels is the promising source of energy for future fuel needs. Biodiesel can be established from growing plants which naturally includes oil particularly jatropha curcas, palm oil, Soybean and algae. Bioethanol can be extracted from sugar crops like sugarcane, sugar beet, maize, corn etc by yeast fermentation. Wood items can also be converted into Biofuels.
The gotten Biofuels from these items contains both advantages and drawbacks.
Advantages of Biofuels:
Ecological Benefits: The primary 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 autos. It minimizes the green home significantly compared to other nonrenewable fuel sources.
First generation biofuels can save carbon emissions about 60% compared to nonrenewable fuel sources whereas the 2nd generation biofuels are much better than first generation fuels. It offers carbon emission savings as much as 80%. Recently, UK Government publication stated that biofuels can minimize emissions by 50-60%. Efficiency of the engine increases by utilizing biodiesel as the lube.
Economical: The biofuel's cost reduces substantially if the biofuel production technology spreads worldwide. The biofuels are developed locally which immediately boosts the rural development as the technology depends generally on manual power. The rapid boost of biofuel at the same time increases the production of these oil crops which promotes the farming industry. The UK government has revealed that it lowers the tax for vehicles which are environment-friendly. Additionally, the sturdiness of the engine increases while using these flammable fuels in engines.
Renewability and Degradable: The biofuels are made from crops which are sustainable and it is eco-friendly and safer to deal with and less hazardous than nonrenewable fuel sources.
Disadvantages of Biofuels:
Environmental Alarm: Adapting more lands for planting crops for biofuel extraction will discarded more habitats. More forests have actually been destroyed in Asian countries for the plantation. The producing mechanism of these biodiesel undoubtedly needs fossil fuels which produces more carbon emissions. High preliminary investment is required for the biodiesel production.
Odour: Certain biofuel crop produces heavy odor those smells are typically undesirable and biofuels plants can not be setup near the big communities.
Food and water Requirements: Some biofuel crops such as corn oil, palm oil are edible for cooking
