Biofuels – Alternative and Renewable Sources of Energy - Modified from Source: http://biofuel.org.uk/ BIOMASS Biomass can be termed as organic material which is derived from living or more “recently deceased” organisms. The most important feature of biomass is that it is a renewable source of energy unlike other natural resources like coal‚ petroleum and even nuclear fuel. Biomass itself is a renewable energy source because we can always grow more trees and crops‚ and waste will always exist

Algae Biofuel around the World There are several countries that use algae as a substance to create usable and efficient biofuel. Several of these countries are primarily found in Europe. Places such as Amsterdam and Paris use algae biofuel as a source of power. Recently several universities in London‚ England such as Cambridge and Cranfield University have begun develop studies in this field. This study in England will hopefully spread throughout the entire continent. As well as this‚ places

Title Length Color Rating Biofuel vs. Conventional Fuel - ... Mainly‚ biofuel contains hydrogen and methane which are particularly derived from the microbial material. And these are recyclable whereas the petro fuels are not recyclable. In addition‚ the amount of emission of carbon dioxide from biofuel is much more less than from petro fuels. Surely‚ the power density and lifetime of biofuel must be improved to compete with the conventional fuels but biofuel certainly has several advantages

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

Biofuels. Name: Institution: Course: Tutor: Date: A biofuel is made from a biological process known as carbon fixation. These biofuels are gotten from the conversion of biomass‚ solid biomass‚ liquid fuels as well as biogases. The biofuels are continued to be known because of the high prices of fossil fuels and also for the purposes of ensuring fuel security in various countries. (Caye‚ D. & Terry W.2008). The biofuels are produced from two distinct ways; that is through metabolic by-products

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)
