Biofuel
Biofuels are a source of energy derived from living organisms that have not been extracted from sequestered reserves in the earth and whose natural emissions have a neutral impact on the environment.
685 Questions
It reduces the consumption of fossil fuels, and typically burns cleaner than pure petroleum products. Additionally, it is made from renewable resources.
However, biofuels also carry disadvantages which often don't outweigh the advantages they possess.
How reliable is biomass energy?
As long as we can keep growing vegetation that we can use for burning, then biomass will be reliable.
What are good and bad things about biofuel?
Good: Its cheap, if not free, because your using the waste of animals. Bad: Dont quote me on this, but I think it releases CO2 into the enviroment.
How is hydrogen used to generate electricity?
Hydrogen is burnt to boil water. The steam spins the electric generators, as in a fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) power station, except without causing global warming, as the only emission is water.
How do you make potassium chloride with H20?
When KOH reacts with HCl, these products are formed. This is a neutralization reaction. KOH is a base while HCl is an acid.
Why does the combustion of biomass release no net carbon into the atmosphere?
Biomass is vegetable matter, like unwanted parts of sugar cane (bagasse), as well as residue from tree felling and other things. When vegetation grows, it removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. When the same material is burnt as biomass, that same CO2 is put back into the carbon cycle.
Bio-diesel is extracted from which plant?
It varies/depends on location and the price of oil.
It's mostly swede/ swedish turnip (canola oil) in Europe,
but it can be produced from any plant oil, extracted from palms, soya beans, sunflower seeds, etc.
There is a lot of different ways that electricity or energy is derived from biological sources so it's hard to answer how bio power works. Visit the related link for a list of bio power sources and how they work.

What are the disadvantages of bio-mass?
The real question about biomass is whether or not you get a significant amount of energy NET. To determine that is not simple in practice, but in principle it is just the amount of energy produced minus the amount of energy that went into production. When you include the energy content all the aspects of farming (making fertilizer, irrigation and watering, driving tractors, etc.) as well as the energy required to convert plant matter into ethanol, the net gain is not very much (a few percent). Some calculation actually show that more energy is spent producing biomass than comes out! Right now, with current technology, growing corn for energy is energy politics, not energy policy.
Also, if biomass is used as a source of energy on a global scale to replace oil, coal and natural gas, we would have plant energy crops on a very large percentage of the earth's land surface. It is not clear if there is enough water to support that kind of large-scale agriculture. The scale would be many times larger than all the land used currently for food production. The massive land area used may also raise issues of land use and may cause damage to natural habitats and may threaten the survival of sensitive species.
Disadvantages
- Biocrops have a higher value than food and can detract food production, leading to food shortages and increased prices
- Some pollutants are released into the atmosphere
- we might run out of plants and animals
- Biofuels are inefficient.
- Biofuels cause some pollution.
Fermentation of the biomass emits methane that destroys the atmosphere, in particular the higher altitudes that protects us from the dangerous UV rays.
High ash and moisture content, and high chloride content (corrosive gasses).
One disadvantage of biomass is that is causes air pollution. Also we could run out of chickens and no poo would come out their rear end
What is Biofuel and what is it used for?
I was wondering the same thing a few weeks ago. This site will tell you everything you need to know.
Biofuel is very useful. Biofuel is defined as solid, liquid or gas fuel derived from recently dead biological material and is distinguished from fossil fuels, which are derived from long dead biological material. Theoretically, biofuels can be produced from any (biological) carbon source; although, the most common sources are photosynthetic plants. Various plants and plant-derived materials are used for biofuel manufacturing. Globally, biofuels are most commonly used to power vehicles and cooking stoves. Biofuel industries are expanding in Europe, Asia and the Americas.
A bioethanol is a variety of ethanol produced, by fermentation of crops, for use as a biofuel.
A product is biodegradable if it can be consumed or eaten by an organism such as an animal, insects, bacteria, or fungus so that it is broken up into simpler more basic products. The resulting products can then be used by other plants or animals as a source of nourishment starting the process over again.
In other words, biodegradable items left on the ground or garbage dumps are eaten by animals or insects and excreted as simpler wastes which are processed by bacteria in the ground leaving leaving simpler biological products that help make fertile soil from which plants grow that feed animals which die or are used to make other biodegradable items, continuing the cycle.
Although some metals are needed to sustain life, they are used in very small amounts. Metals such as cans, scrap metal, and other parts left on the ground just stay there. Some of it exposed to the elements can rust (meaning it combines with oxygen) or react chemically with other products. In general they are not part of the life sustaining biological cycle.
Does burning biofuel cause pollution?
Burning any fuel can lead to some pollution the case of biofuels the pollution types may be:
- oil spills from tanks, drains and transportation
- smoke from poorly controlled combustion
- nitrogen oxides
- carbon dioxide
- odours from combustion
- particulate (Carbon cenospheres) fallout from residual droplets of fuel
How can tallow be used for the production of biodiesel?
Tallow is rendered mutton, beef or other bovine fat. Biodiesel can be made from tallow using similar methods and processes to plant oils. The resulting biodiesel has a higher cetane number than plant oil biodiesel meaning a cleaner and more efficient fuel.
How do you right matrimonial bio data?
Why Biodata for Marriage?
Every person (Boy or Girl) who is searching for his/her dream partner for marriage uses different mediums to find the perfect match. These mediums are for example:

Why is biodiesel unlikely to replace petrol in the future?
We can't make anywhere near enough of it to replace all petrol used.
Biofuels are beneficial because they do not add carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere. They do release carbon dioxide when burnt, but it is carbon dioxide that was recently removed from the atmosphere when the vegetation was growing (bio-fuels are produced from various kinds of vegetation).
The carbon dioxide emitted by fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) has been hidden away for millions of years, which is why releasing it now is increasing the greenhouse effect, causing global warming and climate change.
Why is bio diesel's contribution to global warming less than that of fossil diesel?
When biodiesel is burnt, the carbon dioxide it releases was removed from the atmosphere several months ago when the plants were grown to make the biodiesel. This is part of the carbon cycle.
When fossil fuel diesel is burnt, it releases carbon dioxide that has been hidden underground for 300 million years. This EXTRA carbon dioxide is too much for the carbon cycle to deal with, and is building up in the atmosphere causing global warming.
