Figure 2: World`s energy supply in future (Source: Yvonne Y.

Biofuels- Will it help? Cibell Resch 29.01.12 We have been using fossil fuels as our energy source for many‚ many years now‚ but they are starting to run out. We are consuming more fossil fuels than that are produced. Biofuels are a rather recent alternative to using fossil fuels. Biofuels are derived from biomass‚ which can then be transformed into a biofuel that has many purposes‚ one of them being a fuel that will run a transport vehicle. One of the ways to get fuel from the biomass

renewable and eco-friendly alternatives to fossil fuels (Venkata mohan et al.‚ 2008). Renewable energy can be defined as energy that comes from constantly replenished resources such as sunlight‚ rain‚ wind‚ hydropower and fuel cells. Renewable bioenergy is considered one of the new ways to resolve the current global warming problem. Renewable energy generation and waste disposal are two key challenges

559 Testing Your Comprehension 1. Fossil fuels are abundant on our planet today and can be used to create many sources of energy which is why they are so prevalent. They are considered nonrenewable sources of energy because they take millions of years to form and because humans are rapidly depleting our fossil fuels faster then they can be created‚ which makes these fuels nonrenewable. 2. Fossil fuels were formed from the tissues of organisms that lived 100-500 million years ago. The energy these

It seems that biomass come from bioenergy and are efficient to our environment to contain wood. “Bioenergy‚ the energy from biomass‚ has been used for thousands of years‚ ever since people started burning wood to cook food or to keep warm‚ and today‚ wood is still our largest biomass resource from bioenergy. Many countries in the developing world still use wood as their primary fuel (Demirbas and Demirbas‚ 2007). Wood
