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)

As carbon emissions are continually increasing more research is being done on biofuels such as ethanol from corn and algae. Biofuels are a renewable energy source‚ carbon neutral‚ and reduce dependency on foreign oils. Many government officials and people in the general population do not support the use of biofuels to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Many agriculture’s

the environment are the reasons for the need and discovery of biodiesel. Biodiesel are basically a fuel that is used as an alternative fuel. This is made using renewable resources like vegetable oil and animal fats. Sweet Potatoes (Ipomea Batatas) are being engineered by North Carolina State University. Scientist are source of ethanol to help the U.S. in their need of fuel. This is the reasons why the researchers decided to make biodiesel out of sweet potato (ipomea batatas) peel to test its feasibility

Evaluating the sustainability of the EU policy: “By 2020‚ 10% of transport fuel in the EU should be supplied from Biofuels” Introduction: The 2009 Renewable Energy Directive (RED) required a 10% share of renewable energy in the transport sector by 2020; biofuels must emit a minimum of 35% less greenhouse gases (GHG) than the fossil fuels they replace‚ increasing to 50% for existing plants in 2017 and 60% for new infrastructure thereafter. The Fuel Quality Directive‚ setting a target of a 6% GHG

Alcoholic Beverages: Alcoholic beverages have been consumed by humans since the Neolithic era; the earliest evidence of alcohol was discovered in Jiahu (site of a Neolithic Yellow River settlement based in the central plains of ancient China) dating from 7000–6600 BCE. The production and consumption of alcohol occurs in most cultures of the world‚ from hunter-gatherer peoples to nation-states. An alcoholic beverage is a drink that contains ethanol. Alcoholic beverages are divided into three

need. While plants rely directly on the sun for energy‚ humans rely on an array of sources like wind‚ fossil-fuel‚ water‚ solar‚ and more recently biofuels. Of these biofuels‚ which are fuels obtained directly from living plant matter‚ ethanol and biodiesel are the most commonly used. These two sources are typically used to fuel cars‚ trucks‚ aircraft‚ and small-engine machines. Biofuels have garnered much attention because they are derived from renewable resources like corn and soybeans rather than
