  • Biofuel Production - Is It A Green Solution?
    By: Roger Vanderlely. | - While we strive to deal with the imminent decline of world oil supplies we also need to consider the impact of oil alternatives. Biofuel production has been held up as a solution to our oil dependence. Biofuels have also been promoted as a replacement for oil, implying that we will be able to maintain our lifestyles even after the oil supply has run dry.

    How realistic is this scenario? We need to consider the costs associated with alternative energy sources. The biofuel concept is tha ...

  • The Production Of Ethanol
    By: Wes Fernley | - Fuel prices are always a concern. This has led to increasing interest in alternative energy such as wind, solar and biofuels.

    Even though some consider biofuel to be something new, biofuels have actually been produced by humans for many thousands of years. This is because biofuels are so easy to make. It's possible to produce biofuels from any vegetable that contains a significant amount of sugar, or contains ingredients that are convertible into sugar, such as starch and cellulose. ...

    By: Wes Fernley | - Ethanol is, in fact, an alcohol. The very same kind we would see in an alcoholic beverage. Unfortunately, it's not possible to run our fuel tanks on vodka, and it isn't recommended to drink ethanol!

    Ethanol is used most commonly in the United States and Brazil. Brazilians use this biofuel due to their large amounts of sugar cane, which is where ethanol comes from. Ethanol is not simply a fuel replacement; it's only blended with fuels to around a ten percent level. In some cities, it ...
