Ethanol as a biofuel has several disadvantages, including its lower energy content compared to gasoline, which can lead to reduced fuel efficiency in vehicles. The production of ethanol often requires significant amounts of water and land, raising concerns about resource use and potential competition with food crops, contributing to food price increases. Additionally, the refining process can result in greenhouse gas emissions, potentially offsetting some of the environmental benefits associated with using biofuels.
What else can I help you with?
Is ethanol a biofuel?
Ethanol can be a biofuel if it is obtained from vegetable matter. It can also be produced by the hydrogenation of ethylene in a refinery or chemical plant.
Give an example of a biofuel?
Ethanol
What is the main chemical in biofuel?
The main component is ethanol.
What is a biofuel vehicle?
Gasoline biofuel is a mixture of gasoline and ethanol. Ethanol is a plant based alcohol, I.E. biological. Biodiesel works the same was but is an oil not an alocohol. The diesel engine was original designed and ran on a biofuel(peanut oil).
Is biofuel better then ethanol?
Ethanol is one of the biofuels, so it can't be better than itself.
Which of the following States is the likeliest place for the further development of ethanol and other biofuel production?
Iowa is the most likely state where further development of ethanol and other biofuel production will take place.
What is an example of a biofuel?
An example of a biofuel would be ethanol. A biofuel is anything that is organic, and can be grown by humans on a mass scale. Other examples are peanut oil and lamp oil.
What is a disadvantage of ethanol as a biofuel?
Growing corn could be bad for the soil.
Does Ethanol contribute to the greenhouse effect?
Ethanol is a biofuel produced from vegetable matter. When the crop grows, it removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When the biofuel is burnt, that same carbon dioxide is released. So ethanol, basically, is carbon-neutral and does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
What is a bioethanol?
A bioethanol is a variety of ethanol produced, by fermentation of crops, for use as a biofuel.
What can be used as biofuel?
Ethanol, corn oil, sunflower oil, canola oil, etc.
What States is the likeliest place for the further development of ethanol and other biofuel production?
iowa
