The current issue in the whole world is the increase in the price of fossil fuels and the governments of all the countries have started thinking on this issue. This has spurred the use and development of the renewable energy. The source of energy like Biofuel can be a potential alternative of the fossil fuels. And that is why the use of Biofuel is accelerating in the countries like UK, USA, Brazil and China. In 2006, the president of USA said that the USA is “addicted to oil” and it should replace 75% of imported oil by using the alternative source of energy including Biofuel. Biofuel can be defined as solid/liquid/gas fuel derived from recently dead biological material, mostly plants. The Biofuel can be commonly used in automotive transports as liquid fuels.
When it comes to Biofuel, the use of biodiesel is increasing day by day. The biodiesel can be used by mixing it with the mineral diesel and then this mixture can be utilized in any diesel engine. The study shows that the use of this mixture does not create any inconvenience and so people use it in their vehicles.
Another is ethanol fuel which is being used maximum in the Brazil. It can be directly filled in the patrol engines and can be used as the substitute of it. Even few automobile patrol engines work by the mixture of the ethanol fuel and gasoline and it is very effective which can even decrease the population.
Biofuel can also be called agro fuel which can be developed from biomass and the waste of it. By using the waste of biomass, the pollution problem and the problem of the discard of the waste can be halved. Not only this, it can also lessen the issue of global warming. The Biofuel can be derived from the wastes of farms, agriculture and biodegradable waste stream. Basically the first generation Biofuel are made from sugar cane, vegetable oil and animal fat; the second generation Biofuel are made from non food crops and third generation Biofuel can be made from oilgae.
By harnessing these wastes and the Biofuel energy, we can enhance our security of energy, can get a substitute of patrol and can save our ‘mother earth.’
