Bio fuels

Get Rid Of The Dinosaur With Bio Fuels Exciting Stories About Home Solar Energy   Just as the term suggests, bio-fuels are fuels that are formed when biological matter decomposes. The bio-fuels are mostly derived from plants. Bio-fuels exist in all the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.   What's The Difference Between Fossil And Bio Fuels?   Bio-fuels are different from fossil fuels in the following ways:   Fossil fuels take a million years to build whereas bio-fuels can be made extremely fast, in a matter of days. Fossil fuels generate huge amounts of pollution. Bio-fuels are comparatively safer. Bio-fuels are renewable sources of energy unlike fossil fuels.   Bio-Fuel Types   Bio-fuels have been categorized into four types: first generation, second generation, third generation, and fourth generation.   First Generation Bio Fuels   The first generation bio-fuels are derived from vegetable fats, starch, and sugar, which are in turn derived from food-crops.   The first generation fuels are also derived from animal fats. Biogas, bio-diesel, and vegetable oil are some examples of this type of bio-fuels.   Second Generation Bio Fuels   The second generation of bio-fuels is mainly derived from waste biomass, thus making it a more balanced option compared to the first-generation bio-fuels. Different kinds of alcohols and diesel generated from wood fall into the category of second generation bio-fuels.   Third   The third generation comprises of bio-fuels derived from algae. Algae are farmed on large scales for creating these bio-fuels. The algae fuels are extremely environment-friendly as they can easily decompose into the soil without harming it.   The bio-fuels in the fourth generation are derived by a method in which micro-organisms are raised to work with carbon dioxide to generate fuel.   Advantages Of Using Bio Fuels   Bio-fuels prove advantageous in the following ways: Bio-fuels lessen the burden on gradually-vanishing fossil fuels. Bio-fuels are environment-friendly. They help reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere. Bio-fuels, especially, bio-diesel prove to be very cost-effective for consumers.   Disadvantages Of Using Bio Fuels   Bio-fuels are not bereft of criticism. Though beneficial for the environment, bio-fuels have its disadvantages, paradoxically in the environmental purview. Bio-fuels have received criticism for many reasons, a couple of which are stated below: Economists have long debated on the usefulness of first generation bio-fuels when compared to the lack of food they cause. Generating fuel from food crops makes food crops unworthy of human consumption. Some people believe that being a higher priority than fuel, food should not be farmed for making fuels but for human consumption. Making bio-fuels require acres of farming land, thus encroaching upon the natural habitat of plants and animals.   So, you see? There are major differences in using bio fuels as opposed to the so-called "dinosaur" petro.
