Introduction

Biofuel are compounds like ethanol derived from biomass that was formed from any carbon source that was simple to replenish like plants . The main purpose of everyone at our present trend is to build up an energy source in liquid form that can be utilized as fuel for transportation The reduction of greenhouse gas emission is one of the main objectives of using biofuels as compared to the usage of conventional transport fuels . Biofuel consumption has a great impact on

the fuels used during productions of several products

When the technique called Life Cycle Analysis (LCA ) is to be used biofuels can give saving up to 60 of the carbon emissions as compared to fossil fuel while 80 savings of carbon emissions for the second generation of biofuels

Disadvantage

Greenhouse gas emissions are the product of almost all biofuels that are used compared to conventional fuels . The use of biofuels lead to the destruction of our natural ecosystem , like the grassland and forest ecosystem will add to global warming for decades . The process of diverting grain crops into oilseed crops , from table plates to fuel tanks , are increasing the prices of food and a threat to starvation

When biofuels are burned and released in the atmosphere major constituent of those gases are carbon and it could form compounds with other gases , too much of these gases deprives the planet of natural sponges due to the destruction of the

natural ecosystem...
