Advantages and Disadvantages of Biofuels
Biofuels become popular nowadays, Biofuels create big hopes for car driver, fuel price is become higher and higher.Many car driver screaming with that crazy gas price, the gas price will make the car driver’s wallet empty every day. And Biofuels come for the gas alternative than fossil fuel. But is that true biofuels are have many advantages rather than their disadvantages?. Every objects in this world have advantages site and disadvantages site. I believe that Biofuels have that too.
So What is the advantages of Biofuels?
Here are some advantages of biofuels:Biodegradable, non toxic and easy to handle, Less of CO and Sulfur, carbon neutral, its made from renewable resources, clean fuels so its good for cars.
And There are any disadvantages of biofuels?
When I found the data about the advantages and disadvantages of biofuels, i found a really interesting article which said that biofuels will do more harm than good:”Scientists in the U.K. and U.S. have found that the cultivation of biofuels can increase the output of CO2 and other gases blamed for global warming because of changes in land use. U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown last week wrote to leaders of the Group of Eight nations to say the government is concerned that biofuels are pushing up food costs around the world.”
Oops that really big disadvantages of biofuels. Biofuels itself is really great, but the bad is the producing process of biofuels that still use Fossil Fuel, and that produce harmful gas for our Ozone, CO2, and that trigger really bad Global Warming Today.
Here is another disadvantages of biofuels and questionable of using biofuels:”When this is combined with the questionable energy balance of producing biofuels compared with the energy they save by being used in vehicles, the worth of biofuels remains in question. For example, oil can be pumped out of the ground and processed much more efficiently than biofuels can be grown and processed - though biofuels do substantially reduce carbon emissions.”
I think every one must be concern about those disadvantages of biofuels rather than the advantages one. If we concern with the disadvantages of using biofuels, we could do better in the future and could make many improvement to eliminate those disadvantages and left the advantages of Biofuels.

Corn and sugar based ethanol is a disaster! If all the crop land in the US were switched to grow corn, all of that corn would only produce 12% of the US energy needs. Not to mention it is inefficient to make and would use too much fertilizer thus polluting the waterways. Then what about food shortages? We’re already seeing that happen. And finally ethanol is not good as a fuel. Cars get worse gas mileage, thus use more, when burning ethanol. An entirely different type of energy needs to be used for vehicles. We need to go after electric(which in the US is mainly produced using coal, natural gas, water and nuclear) or some form of hydrogen cell. But wake up and forget ethanol folks! It’s a looming disaster bigger than petroleum!

in this time the really alternative fuel is biofuel but in the future we have to need convert the disadvantages of bio fuels to our advantages.
