BioFuel Debate

Wednesday, April 02, 2008

The scant of fossil fuels has almost led to an energy crisis in the world. Prices of petroleum products are already sky-rocketing, with crude oil costing almost $100/barrel. Scientists world-over are working to produce alternate sources of energy using natural products.

Biofuel, the kind of fuel produced from organic matter, is one of the best alternative being considered to replace the use of petroleum gas. There is a great on going debate on the efficient use of this fuel. The biofuel debate forum is community for people interested to discuss on the subject of alternate fuels. It provides a platform for scientists, academia, researchers, clubs or even newcomers who are interested in sharing knowledge and providing opinion for the effective use of biofuel.

There are many types of biofuels which are being experimented for use in vehicles. These include biogas, bioethanol, biobutanol, biodiesel, straight vegetable oil, and wood gas generator. Among these, biodiesel's use and production are increasing rapidly. Fueling stations make biodiesel readily available to consumers across Europe, and increasingly in the USA and Canada, and a growing number of transport fleets use it as an additive in their fuel. The biodiesel forum provides more insights about this efficient fuel.

Biofuel is considered by some as a means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing energy security by providing an alternative to fossil fuels. It is considered to be an eco-friendly fuel. But, there may be some adverse impacts about biofuel too. Use of biofuel may lead to increase in food prices used to make these fuel. They may also lead to deforestation, soil erosion and may effect the water resources. There are many such issues being discussed at the Biofuel impact forum. Participate in this forum and share how does biofuel effects the world.
