The Use Of Biofuels

The use of biofuels.

Biofuels are a wide range of fuels which are derived from biomass. This term covers various kinds of fuels. i.e. Bioethanol, Biodiesel etc.

There are different generationsof biofuels, and it is important to pay attention to this, because the existence of different generations of biofuels is leading to different opinions about the social and environmental impact theycause
Biofuels are divided into generations according to the raw materials with which they are produced,
the first generation biofuels are made from sugar and vegetable oil.
Secondly, the secondgeneration biofuels include waste biomass, the stalks of wheat, corn, wood etc. And finally goes the the oilgae or third generation biofuel, is a biofuel from algae.

This research is focused on howthe use of biofuels produce different views among different areas of society.
Biofuels are fuels that pollute less than fossil fuels but its recentcreation makes the technique not improved and theway to make biofuels is not the best way yet because the mismanagement of the exploitation of raw materials needed for the production of biofuels creates situations of overexplotation in some areas .“The conversion of arable land for plants used for green fuel has led to an explosion of agricultural prices which is punishing poor countries forced to import their food at a grater cost. Forexample; 232kg of corn is needed to make 50 litres of bioethanol. A child could live on that amount of corn for a year” Ziegler, Jean. 2007. Biofuels. Swissinfo Agencies, (http://www.swissinfo.com).With the global population growing by 90 million a year, the demand for food and energy is set to intensify agricultural practices are still compromising the natural resource base that we rely uponfor food production. As in the past, science and technology offer some solutions to the world’s agricultural problems. But without significant policy changes and initiatives relating to agriculture,...
