Fossil Fuel And Its Effects On The World Economy

Since it is of plant origin it does not have sulfur. Diesel fuel has a considerable amount of sulfur in it and it gets converted to sulfur dioxide which is very harmful to the atmosphere and can cause acid rains and also lung problems for all americans. Since biodiesel is ultimately derived from animals or plants, it is renewable, unlike fossil fuels. The fact that it can be homegrown also could lessen dependence on foreign oil and support local farmers.

Fossil fuel plays leading role in upsetting environmental, economical and climate protection. Our earth is at catastrophic risk by the exploitation of fossil fuels. Therefore, pressure is on to find viable alternatives for energy to bring a stable, safe and clean revolution. In that case, bio-fuels make an attractive alternative for energy than fossil fuels. Various provocative questions need discussion that what are the attractive differences between both the fuels? Why fossil fuel dependence is to be actually minimized? What is the scope of bio-fuel for a safer world? How will bio-fuel benefit economically? Above all, It will be conferred that why bio-fuels are better than fossil fuels.

When researching the effects of biodiesel versus vegetable oil on a vehicle the results were interesting. Due to the increasing gas prices and the Obama Administration to wean the U.S. off of the addiction of oil, people are starting to switch to alternative fuel. ("Diesel vs. Biodiesel vs. Vegetable Oil | Homegrown Fuels - Consumer Reports." Diesel vs. Biodiesel vs. Vegetable Oil | Homegrown Fuels - Consumer Reports. N.p., n.d. Web. 09 Dec. 2014.) this would include farm crop and renewable organic material. they are also in use with biodiesel and Vegetable oils. Developed from vegetable or animal fats, biodiesel is functionally identical to petroleum diesel. Adherents claim it pollutes much less than regular diesel. A relative of biodiesel is plain, edible cooking oil. Because it's not financially practical to fuel a car with cooking oil from grocery store shelves— a

The aim of this investigation is to compare the alternative fuels ethanol, and biodiesel to each other, and their predecessors in order to find out which is cleanest, most efficient, most powerful, and ultimately the superior fuel.

Biofuel can be used as substitutes for conventional fuels e.g. petro fuels. Mainly, biofuel contains hydrogen and methane which are particularly

Our world is finite. That means that there is only a limited amount of air, water, rock, plants and animal material. Earth is like a spaceship with only so many resources. There are no supply ships to drop in and give us a refill of resources. It makes us (as global citizens) the caretakers or stewards aboard the spaceship. So, as global citizens, we have to take care of our planet and make sure that it has enough resources for its own well-being, the other biodiversity living on Earth and even humankind. We must preserve and wisely use what we have. Using renewable resources and energy is one way to do just that. Biofuels are a type of renewable resources. In this report I will be talking about, what are biofuels, what can they do, how biofuels are made, are they available around the world? Should biofuels be used to replace fossil fuels? Why or why not, how do biofuels impact the food supply in 3 rd World Countries, who uses biofuels? Also, the cost, pros and cons and environmental benefits or concerns.

Recently, the idea of using food crops as a possible substitute for petroleum fuels was reintroduced. Any carbon-based molecules (food, waste products etc.) can have ethanol extracted from them, which can then be used as energy. These plant-based biofuels were initially a competitor to petroleum fuels, in the beginning of the 20th century, before their progress was

Currently today more than 99% of all fuel consumed is petroleum (3). In the year 2025 the world’s reserves of petroleum will be a dry source (7). Other than the shortage of petroleum, the burning of petroleum also causes many problems such as global warming. In this case, engineers and scientists need to come up with an alternative energy source for gasoline not only because of the shortage, but because of the environmental problems gasoline and other fossil fuels cause for the environment. Out of all forms of alternative fuels for vehicles bio-diesel seems to be the next alternative source of fuel, but more research needs to prove this assumption.

Another type of fuel is Biofuel. This type of energy is produced through different types of wastes. Potato peels, whey, turkey guts, and frying oil are all types of wastes that can be converted into biofuel. This is a relatively new scientific breakthrough in the hunt for a more efficient energy source. The good thing about using biofuel is that it is clean, and can get rid of our wastes, while

With an ever growing population and increasing development around the world, the need for alternative energy sources greatly increases with every passing day. One of the main forms of alternative energy being pushed is biofuels. This is due to their decreased emissions in comparison to more conventional fuels such as diesel and gasoline. I will be covering many aspects in this paper that will highlight the benefits of biofuels, how it started and where it is predicted to be in the future.

Biofuels have been around for a long time. However, huge deposits of pertroleum based resources have been found and kept gasoline and diesel cheap for decades. Biofuels were largely forgotten. However, with the recent rise in oil prices, along with growing concern about global

In the wake of exhausting petroleum stocks and the test of meeting the considerably more stringent discharge standards, specialists over the globe are spurred to recommend different other options to petrol and diesel. Different biofuels, for example, ethanol, butanol, biodiesel, green diesel, bio-ethers, and green growth based biofuels have gathered the enthusiasm of scientists.

Biofuel is a form of fuel produced under biological carbon fixation (such as anaerobic digestion and agriculture). Biofuels are in various forms and are used widely in achieving energy storage needs. Biofuels are a known source of renewable energy because of its great environmental advantages, which includes reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The form of biofuels is categorized into three generations, with each generation containing various fuels.

Bioenergy production as one of the sustainable production is expected to offer new opportunities to diversify income and fuel supply sources, to promote employment in rural areas, to develop long term replacement of fossil fuels, and to reduce GHG emissions, boosting the decarburization of transportation fuels and increasing the security of energy supply (Mata, Martins & Caetano 2010).
