Biofuels is the promising source of energy for future fuel needs. Biodiesel can be established from growing plants which naturally includes oil specifically Jatropha, palm oil, and algae. Bioethanol can be extracted from sugar crops like sugarcane, sugar beet, maize, corn etc by yeast fermentation. Wood items can also be transformed into Biofuels.

The acquired Biofuels from these products includes both advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages of Biofuels:

Ecological Benefits: The primary expectation of utilizing the biofuel is to be carbon neutral, less of CO and Sulfur, as it is made from natural resources, and it is eco-friendly and pure fuels so it benefits cars. It lowers the green home substantially compared to other fossil fuels.

First generation biofuels can conserve carbon emissions about 60% compared to nonrenewable fuel sources whereas the 2nd generation biofuels are better than first generation fuels. It uses carbon emission cost savings as much as 80%. Recently, UK Government publication mentioned that biofuels can lower emissions by 50-60%. Efficiency of the engine increases by using biodiesel as the lubricant.

Economical: The biofuel’s rate decreases significantly if the biofuel production innovation spreads worldwide. The biofuels are established locally which automatically enhances the rural development as the technology depends generally on manual power. The fast boost of biofuel concurrently increases the production of these oil crops which promotes the agricultural industry. The UK government has actually announced that it decreases the taxation for cars which are eco-friendly. Additionally, the durability of the engine increases while utilizing these flammable fuels in engines.

Renewability and Degradable: The biofuels are made from crops which are eco-friendly and it is biodegradable and much safer to handle and less harmful than nonrenewable fuel sources.

Disadvantages of Biofuels:

Environmental Alarm: Adapting more lands for planting crops for biofuel extraction will threw away more habitats. More forests have been ruined in Asian countries for the plantation. The producing system of these biodiesel certainly needs nonrenewable fuel sources which produces more carbon emissions. High preliminary financial investment is required for the biodiesel production.

Odour: Certain biofuel crop produces heavy smell those smells are typically unwanted and biofuels plants can not be setup near the large communities.

Food and water Requirements: Some biofuel crops such as corn oil, palm oil are edible for cooking
