According to America’s energy department‚ ethanol results in fewer greenhouse gas and carbon emissions compared to unleaded gasoline‚ and is fully biodegradable (Biofuels). The national average reduction in emissions for corn ethanol is roughly twenty percent. The reason emissions fluctuate is because not every batch of e85 is eighty-five percent ethanol. The maximum number of reduction from pump e85 is fifty-two

technology that over-expresses genes in algae to increase biomass production by 40% to 80% in C02 elevated areas. This technology also increases photosynthetic CO2 assimilation. With these overexpressed genes‚ oil content used in industrial chemicals and biofuel increase 4 fold. This technology license associate is Dario Valenzuela and was posted on November 12‚ 2011.

Biomass energy is the energy which is contained inside plants and animals. This can include organic matter of all kinds: plants‚ animals‚ or waste products from organic sources. These sorts of energy sources are known as biofuels and typically include wood chips‚ rotted trees‚ manure‚ sewage‚ mulch‚ and tree components. Chlorophyll present in plants absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water from the ground through the process of photosynthesis. The same energy is passed to animals when

discussed is the idea that the use of ethanol in America is causing deforestation in South American countries such as Brazil. Pressure on the world’s forests from the renewable energy sector also continues to grow. Forests are being replaced with biofuel crops such as sugarcane and other ethanol feedstocks to meet growing global renewable energy demand. Dr. Daniel Nepstad of the Woods Hole Research Center insists that.

that these plants have evolved over billions of years to produce and store energy in the form of oil‚ and they do this more efficiently than any other known natural or engineered process. Some experts believe that algae is set to eclipse all other biofuel feed stocks as the cheapest‚ easiest‚ and most environmentally friendly way to produce liquid fuel. The inputs for algae are simple: the single-celled organisms only need sunlight‚ water‚ and carbon dioxide to grow. They can quadruple in biomass in

production of renewable energy is being hotly debated globally since it is increasingly understood that first generation biofuels‚ primarily produced from food crops and mostly oil seeds are limited in their ability to achieve targets for biofuel production‚ climate change mitigation and economic growth. These concerns have increased the interest in developing second generation biofuels produced from non-food feedstocks such as microalgae‚ which potentially offer greatest opportunities in the longer

A biofuel is a source of energy that is made from living things or their products. Biobutanol‚ a four-carbon alcohol‚ is a type of biofuel. It has a higher energy than ethanol and can be used in vehicles without them needing modifications to their engines (1). Biobutanol is related to photosynthesis because the biobutanol can come from plants of biomass feedstocks‚ hence the name‚ biomass butanol (2). Biomass feedstocks are the plant matter that fuels are derived from. Biobutanol can be‚ in its first
