Biofuels is the appealing source of energy for future fuel needs. Biodiesel can be established from growing plants which naturally contains oil particularly Jatropha, 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 transformed into Biofuels.
The acquired Biofuels from these items contains both advantages and drawbacks.
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 deposits, and it is eco-friendly and pure fuels so it benefits autos. It lowers the green home considerably 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 approximately 80%. Recently, UK Government publication mentioned that biofuels can reduce emissions by 50-60%. Efficiency of the engine increases by utilizing biodiesel as the lubricant.
Economical: The biofuel's cost decreases substantially if the biofuel production technology spreads worldwide. The biofuels are developed in your area which immediately boosts the rural advancement as the innovation depends mainly on manual power. The fast increase of biofuel concurrently increases the production of these oil crops which promotes the agricultural industry. The government has announced that it minimizes the tax for vehicles which are environmentally friendly. Additionally, the durability of the engine increases while utilizing these flammable fuels in engines.
Renewability and Degradable: The biofuels are made from crops which are renewable and it is eco-friendly and more secure to handle and less harmful than fossil fuels.
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 nations for the plantation. The producing mechanism of these biodiesel undoubtedly requires fossil fuels which produces more carbon emissions. High preliminary investment is needed for the biodiesel production.
Odour: Certain biofuel crop produces heavy odor those smells are normally unwanted and biofuels plants can not be setup near the big neighborhoods.
Food and water Requirements: Some biofuel crops such as corn oil, palm oil are edible for cooking
