Biofuel : An Introduction

Biofuel is an energy source that comes from waste, vegetable or plant. It is one of an alternative solution for currently used petroleum. Biofuel shows its potential as a future solution for current energy resource crisis because it can be reproduced. Though the cost of producing biofuel is efficient enough or not is still in debate among scholars and academician but it is surely seen as on of the best alternative to us.
We see biofuel created from palm oil, corn or other plant. Somehow it actually resembles an image of a “Green Product” because it came from such sources. However research do show that combustion from biofuel actually emit higher NOx quantity when comparing with the combustion of petroleum. These phenomena cannot be taken lightly as when we are trying to find solution to our energy resource crisis, we are creating another issue for our environment to handle with. Do we need this kind of problem? Surely the answer is no. We cannot sacrifice mother earth in order to satisfy human greediness of energy sources. But as we know, petroleum is frighteningly decreasing and eventually will totally be none for us to dig in the near future. As for this, it looks most likely that alternatives are needed and biofuel could give us that. What we need to do is we need to eliminate the weakness of biofuel before we widely commercialized its usage world widely.
To find the solution for its weakness,a thorough researches are needed.But first a literature review need to be done so we can see it as a large picture.
Do not also forget that any solution found will be evaluated thoroughly.We need to see from the RETURN OF INVESTMENT point of view as well.
But as I said,thorough literature review are needed here before any research design is prepared.
