Despite keen interest in this sector‚ there are currently few players in this field: In 2005‚ Brazil and the United States together accounted for 99 percent of global ethanol production‚ whereas Germany and France accounted for 69 percent of global biodiesel production. However‚ developing countries with tropical climates may have a comparative advantage in growing energyrich biomass; and second generation technologies could enable expansion of the range of feedstock used

Environmental Issue Paper 07/31/12 Biofuels: The Pros and Cons A hot topic all over the world today is whether or not biofuels should be implemented to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Biofuels are defined as “liquid fuels derived from biological materials; can be made from plants‚ vegetable oils‚ forest products‚ or waste materials” (Dale‚ Kline‚ Wiens‚ 2). Currently in Europe‚ the European Commission (EC) is committed to reducing the total green house gas emissions 20% by 2020‚ and

Hence‚ to mark this historical incident and one would highlight as a co-incident of gifting bio fuel‚ the date 10th August is declared as ‘International Biodiesel Day’ by the Society of Automotive Engineers. It is high time to remind the scientists of present day about the famous words of Rudolf Diesel during his address to German Automobile Engineers Guild in 1912‚ when a confusion arose to identify the efficiency

The Why of Where of Sunny D Canola Oil A. Where and how is the breakfast item produced? Canola was naturally bred from rapeseed (or field mustard) at the University of Manitoba‚ Canada. Canada and America produce canola. * Canola is best grown as a winter crop in soil with pH level between 5.5-8.3. It will grow well in most sites as long as the soil is well drained. * Canola is normally grown in acres and can be double cropped with winter wheat

CASE 5 Why Did Global Food Prices Rise? Case Summary For the past 25 years‚ food prices have been declining due to increased productivity and output from the farm sector worldwide. In 2007 however‚ this changed. There are two main explanations to this. The first is an increased demand for food in rapidly developing nations such as China and India. Meat in particular has contributed to the rising prices as farmers have to feed their animals an extensive amount of grain in order to keep up with

At the state that the US is currently in‚ we need an oil alternative‚ which is both economically friendly‚ and environmentally friendly. Algae farming tends to fall in both of these categories; what’s more‚ it is also efficient. For three very important rationales‚ I stand in a strong affirmation for this bill‚ in which we will fund algae farming. First off‚ Algae farming can be farmed realistically anywhere. There are very few requirements for algae biofuel. All biofuels that are created from land

What advantages does Aquaflow have in its efforts to execute the plan and continue to grow? Answer: They can truly execute the three-point plan because it can be one of the most competitive player in the market. Some factors to consider to make this plan work is that Aquaflow must use wild algae to help
