Biofuels Pros And Cons. Biofuels require conserved land. They produce industrial pollution. Oil obtained from algae is 30 times higher than of what is produced from land crops. Biofuel discourages the crop rotation which will affect the condition of the earth and weakens its overall strength.
The main advantage of biofuel is carbon-neutrality the much-desired balance between carbon emissions and carbon removal. Studies show that the machinery needed to cultivate the crops emits large carbon emissions. Algae use less land and water than corn to produce biofuel. And they can be used for much more than just cars trains or planes. Biofuel is commonly advocated as a cost-effective and environmentally benign alternative to petroleum and other fossil fuels particularly within the context of rising petroleum prices and increased concern over the contributions made by fossil fuels to global warming. Biofuel is a fuel produced using modern biological processes such as the anaerobic digestion of organic and vegetable waste and is used as an alternative to fossil fuels like coal and oil to lower the emissions released by engines.
In fact already Rudolf Diesel himself used peanut oil in his engines.
Renewable Biofuels are produced from plants and other organic material so it can be replenished constantly. Biofuel is a source of energy that comes from the various products and byproducts of plants. Biofuels are cheaper than fossil fuels. Monoculture Farming Reduced Biodiversity. Biofuels may emit lower carbon footprints but the process involved in the production of these fuels largely depends on oil and water. Can be made from plants vegetable oils forest products or waste materials Dale Kline Wiens 2.
