alternative energy : bio fuel - "Ethanol in the Race of the Bio-Fuels " By: Thomas Dwyane Much talk has been going on about the use of the so-called alternative fuel sources in order to answer the demand of preserving the environment. One of the highest possible sources of this alternative fuel is ethanol‚ or that fuel which is derived from corn. Ethanol‚ also known as ethyl alcohol or grain alcohol or more commonly referred to simply as alcohol‚ is a flammable‚ colorless‚ and slightly toxic chemical

Biofuel 2 One of the hottest topics in the new Millennium being discussed on Capitol Hill is called Biofuels. This type of fuel that is being brought to the American people is the new and improved way of becoming proficient and efficient in energy. The Untied States would convince the people along with other countries through policy that this renewable energy called biofuels would help in ever effort to reduce the dependency of fossil fuel. There are some key principals in developing

government. In terms of addressing this problem‚ biofuels‚ which are a renewable energy produced from crops including corn‚ sugar cane and palm oil‚ are considered as a way to reduce carbon emissions. However‚ biofuels cannot solve this problem effectively due to their limitations which increase greenhouse gases emissions instead of reducing it and also cause deforestation. This essay will outline the limitations of biofuels and the issues that biofuels cause (in a long-term that cannot use as a solution

Photosynthetic organisms‚ including plants‚ algae‚ and some photosynthetic bacteria‚ efficiently utilize the energy from the sun to convert water and CO2 from the air into biomass. It emphasized the use of photosynthetic organisms from aquatic environments‚ especially species that grow in environments unsuitable for crop production. Early in the project‚ macro algae‚ microalgae‚ and emergent were investigated for their ability to make lipids (as a feedstock for liquid fuel or chemical production)

Introduction Biofuel is a type of fuel which has energy that is derived from biological carbon fixation and include fuels which are generated from biomass conversion‚ such as liquid fuels‚ solid biomass‚ and various biogases. Biofuel can decrease fuel costs and reduce the CO2 emissions (Jason Hill 2006). Biofuel can be produced by using some of the crops especially corn. The demand of biofuel is increased which is because of biofuel is used as an alternative source of fuel

In November‚ KLM Royal Dutch Airlines made the first biofuels test flight with passengers on board‚ powering one engine with a mixture containing biofuel made from Camelina.

They can act as feedstock for several types of renewable fuels such as ethanol‚ methanol‚ biodiesel‚ methane and hydrogen.

As stated on Page 13 of the case‚ Bunge has several options in how to participate in the biofuels market. First‚ they could be more active in sugarcane-based ethanol. Advantages to the company include: a large amount of land in Brazil for the growth of sugarcane as well as relatively cheap labor; however‚ there is a substantial investment of $200 million. Second‚ they could produce more palm oil in Asia‚ which also requires significant investment in production facilities. Both methods result
