consumption. It is probable that the world is moving towards a greater diversity in primary sources‚ in which each country or region‚ in line with its circumstances‚ will contribute towards the make up of the renewable energy matrix. In this context‚ biofuels will play an important and increasing role. They will not be a substitute for fossil fuels‚ as such‚ but a supplement to other renewable primary sources of energy‚ such as hydro‚ wind and solar power. Brazil is having a prominent position on
Premium Fossil fuel Renewable energy Energy development
Biofuels Coal and crude oil are non-renewable resources. They take so long to form that they cannot be replaced once they have all been used up. This means that these fossil fuels are likely to become more expensive as they begin to run out. Petrol‚ diesel and other fuels produced from crude oil make a range of harmful substances when they are burned‚ including: carbon dioxide carbon monoxide water vapour particulates (solid particles) sulfur dioxide oxides of nitrogen or NOx.

including moving operations overseas and capitalizing on advantages present in other markets. The company has done well in this department‚ as their products are available in over 130 countries. One of their large successes stories was creating a joint-venture with the leading Indian pharmaceutical provider Ranbaxy. The two companies originally had very complimentary visions and aligned business models that made them a perfect fit for collaboration. However‚ after careful analysis of the business environment

Vol 454j14 August 2008jdoi:10.1038/nature07190 REVIEWS Genomics of cellulosic biofuels Edward M. Rubin1‚2 The development of alternatives to fossil fuels as an energy source is an urgent global priority. Cellulosic biomass has the potential to contribute to meeting the demand for liquid fuel‚ but land-use requirements and process inefficiencies represent hurdles for large-scale deployment of biomass-to-biofuel technologies. Genomic information gathered from across the biosphere‚ including potential

Biofuels- Will it help? Cibell Resch 29.01.12 We have been using fossil fuels as our energy source for many‚ many years now‚ but they are starting to run out. We are consuming more fossil fuels than that are produced. Biofuels are a rather recent alternative to using fossil fuels. Biofuels are derived from biomass‚ which can then be transformed into a biofuel that has many purposes‚ one of them being a fuel that will run a transport vehicle. One of the ways to get fuel from the biomass
