in microbial fuel cells and produce ethanol. Biofuel is a type of fuel whose energy is derived from biological carbon fixation. Biofuels include fuels derived from biomass conversion‚ as well assolid biomass‚ liquid fuels and various biogases.Biofuels are gaining increased public and scientific attention‚ driven by factors such as oil price hikesand the need for increased energy security. However‚ according to the European Environment Agency‚ biofuels do not address global warming concerns. Fermentation

Rising food prices Introduction: Food prices have been on the rise and have become a global issue. Prices have soared over the past year and a half and threaten to go up further if issues are not addressed immediately. Below is a look at how prices have been over the past year. Figure 1. FAO Food Price Index: February 2007 - January 2008 Source FAO‚ 2008 In this project‚ we attempt to find out the causes for this price rise‚ the trends of the rise and the effects that this rise has had on us.

According to America’s energy department‚ ethanol results in fewer greenhouse gas and carbon emissions compared to unleaded gasoline‚ and is fully biodegradable (Biofuels). The national average reduction in emissions for corn ethanol is roughly twenty percent. The reason emissions fluctuate is because not every batch of e85 is eighty-five percent ethanol. The maximum number of reduction from pump e85 is fifty-two

Biomass energy is the energy which is contained inside plants and animals. This can include organic matter of all kinds: plants‚ animals‚ or waste products from organic sources. These sorts of energy sources are known as biofuels and typically include wood chips‚ rotted trees‚ manure‚ sewage‚ mulch‚ and tree components. Chlorophyll present in plants absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water from the ground through the process of photosynthesis. The same energy is passed to animals when

discussed is the idea that the use of ethanol in America is causing deforestation in South American countries such as Brazil. Pressure on the world’s forests from the renewable energy sector also continues to grow. Forests are being replaced with biofuel crops such as sugarcane and other ethanol feedstocks to meet growing global renewable energy demand. Dr. Daniel Nepstad of the Woods Hole Research Center insists that.
