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

The gotten Biofuels from these products contains both advantages and drawbacks.

Advantages of Biofuels:

Ecological Benefits: The main expectation of the biofuel is to be carbon neutral, less of CO and Sulfur, as it is made from natural resources, and it is sustainable and pure fuels so it is great for automobiles. It minimizes the green home substantially compared to other nonrenewable fuel sources.

First generation biofuels can conserve carbon emissions about 60% compared to fossil fuels whereas the 2nd generation biofuels are better than very first generation fuels. It uses carbon emission savings up to 80%. Recently, UK Government publication stated that biofuels can reduce emissions by 50-60%. Efficiency of the engine increases by utilizing biodiesel as the lube.

Economical: The biofuel's price decreases significantly if the biofuel production innovation spreads out worldwide. The biofuels are developed in your area which automatically boosts the rural advancement as the innovation depends primarily on manual power. The rapid boost of biofuel at the same time increases the production of these oil crops which promotes the farming market. The UK federal government has actually revealed that it reduces the taxation for lorries which are environment-friendly. Additionally, the sturdiness of the engine increases while using these combustible fuels in engines.

Renewability and Degradable: The biofuels are made from crops which are sustainable and it is biodegradable and safer to manage and less dangerous than fossil fuels.

Disadvantages of Biofuels:

Environmental Alarm: Adapting more lands for planting crops for biofuel extraction will discarded more habitats. More forests have been damaged in Asian nations for the plantation. The producing system of these biodiesel undoubtedly requires fossil fuels which produces more carbon emissions. High preliminary financial investment is needed for the biodiesel production.

Odour: Certain biofuel crop produces heavy odor those odours are generally undesirable 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
