Advantages of bio-fuels (bio diesel and bio ethanol): Biofuel advocates frequently point out the advantages of these plant- and animal-based fuels, like:
1. Biofuels can be significantly less expensive than gasoline and other fossil fuels, particularly as globally demand for oil increases, thus soaring oil and gasoline prices .
2. Whereas oil is a limited resource that comes from particular materials, biofuels can be manufactured from a broad range of materials comprising crop waste, manure, and other byproducts, making it a efficient step in recycling.
3. It’s a renewable source of energy, can be re-produced in period of 6months(bionol)—3years(jetropa seeds for biodiesel)
4. By reducing dependence on foreign fuel sources, countries can safeguard their integrity of energy resources and make them safe from foreign influences.
5. Because biofuels are produced locally, biofuel manufacturing creates employment in the rural areas especially in dry lands where food crops can’t be grown. Biofuel production will provide economic stimulation to the agriculture industry.
6. Biofuels are easily biodegradable and far safer to handle than traditional fuels, making spills less dangerous and much easier and less costly to clean up.
7. When biofuels are burned, they produce significantly less carbon output and fewer toxic gases, making them a safer alternative to fossil fuels, preserve atmospheric quality.
