Advantages and Disadvantages Of Biofuels

Biofuels is the appealing source of energy for future fuel needs. Biodiesel can be established from growing plants which naturally consists of oil specifically jatropha curcas, palm oil, Soybean 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 acquired Biofuels from these products consists of both benefits and downsides.

Advantages of Biofuels:

Ecological Benefits: The main expectation of utilizing 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 is good for automobiles. It lowers the green house substantially compared to other fossil fuels.

First generation biofuels can save carbon emissions about 60% compared to fossil fuels whereas the second generation are much better than very first generation fuels. It provides carbon emission cost savings as much as 80%. Recently, UK Government publication specified that biofuels can lower emissions by 50-60%. Efficiency of the engine increases by utilizing biodiesel as the lube.

Economical: The biofuel’s rate reduces substantially if the biofuel production innovation spreads worldwide. The biofuels are established locally which automatically enhances the rural advancement as the technology depends primarily on manual power. The fast boost of biofuel concurrently increases the production of these oil crops which promotes the agricultural market. The UK government has revealed that it lowers the taxation for automobiles which are environment-friendly. Additionally, the toughness of the engine increases while utilizing these flammable fuels in engines.

Renewability and Degradable: The biofuels are made from crops which are sustainable and it is biodegradable and much safer to handle and less dangerous 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 damaged in Asian countries for the plantation. The producing system of these biodiesel undoubtedly requires 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 large communities.

Food and water Requirements: Some biofuel crops such as corn oil, palm oil are edible for cooking; the need for these crops for biofuels may raise the cost of these food crops. The huge amount of water is required for proper yield, even for drought resistant Jatropha plants.

Availability: The biofuels are not offered in surplus so the diesel motor which are modified for biodiesel usage might deal with issues. The most cars are not equipped for using biofuels in the engines. Some biodiesel can not withstand frost; it gets frozen in the chillier areas. It also increases the risk of microbial development in the engine. Only couple of fuel stations provide this biofuels and it is difficult to transfer the biofuels using pipelines.

Carbon emission: Biofuels are reduces the jatropha curcas greenhouse gases emission compared to other nonrenewable fuel sources. Recently, the European scientist reported that the burning of biodiesel especially corn and rapeseed produces more nitrous oxide.
