Biofuels is the promising source of energy for future fuel requirements. Biodiesel can be established from growing plants which naturally includes oil specifically jatropha curcas, palm oil, Soybean and algae. Bioethanol can be drawn out from sugar crops like sugarcane, sugar beet, maize, corn and so on by yeast fermentation. Wood products can also be transformed into Biofuels.
The obtained Biofuels from these products contains both benefits and disadvantages.
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 renewable and pure fuels so it benefits cars. It reduces the green home significantly compared to other fossil fuels.
First generation biofuels can save carbon emissions about 60% compared to fossil fuels whereas the second generation biofuels are better than very first . It uses carbon emission savings up to 80%. Recently, UK Government publication mentioned that biofuels can minimize emissions by 50-60%. Efficiency of the engine increases by utilizing biodiesel as the lube.
Economical: The biofuel's cost decreases significantly if the biofuel production innovation spreads out worldwide. The biofuels are developed locally which instantly boosts the rural advancement as the technology depends mainly on manual power. The quick boost of biofuel at the same time increases the production of these oil crops which promotes the agricultural industry. The UK government has revealed that it minimizes the taxation for lorries which are eco-friendly. Additionally, the durability of the engine increases while using these combustible fuels in engines.
Renewability and Degradable: The biofuels are made from crops which are sustainable and it is eco-friendly and more secure to handle and less hazardous than nonrenewable fuel sources.
Disadvantages of Biofuels:
Environmental Alarm: Adapting more lands for planting crops for biofuel extraction will got rid of more habitats. More forests have actually been destroyed in Asian countries for the plantation. The producing system of these biodiesel undoubtedly needs nonrenewable fuel sources which produces more carbon emissions. High preliminary investment is required for the biodiesel production.
Odour: Certain biofuel crop produces heavy odor those odours are normally 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
