Food versus fuelEnergy securityEnergy conservationCarter doctrineFew would argue with the need to replace the fossil fuels that are currently the driving force of the world's economy with renewable fuels that are produced in a sustainable manner and that minimally increase greenhouse gas emissions. ...
Biofuels have a long history but have recently gained increasing attention and demand as a renewable, environmentally friendly, and sustainable energy source. Different kinds of biofuels can easily replace traditional fossil fuels with positive environme
Currently, most of the electricity is from fossil fuels, but renewables such as solar, wind, hydro and biomass are being generated. The data show that the share of total generation of renewable energy has grown significantly since 2010, while that of fossil fuels has declined (Fig.5). Projec...
Fuel versus food?There's only so much land in the world, but the number of people each acre has to support is increasing rapidly. As oil becomes more expensive, so biofuels become more attractive to grow. That means farmers may find they can earn more by growing biofuel crops than food ...

Partly due to the exponential population growth and the unsustainable use of natural resources, this also came with the realization that finite resources, such as fossil fuels, are almost exhausted. With demand for fossil fuels predicted to increase by more than 50% by 2025 (Ragauskas, et al,...
“food versus fuel” disadvantage of 1G biofuels. Biofuels produced from this generation uses technologies such as a thermochemical, biochemical, and enzymatic process to produce thebioethanol, syngas, andpyrolysisoil-based fuels[19]. 2G biofuels overpass the environmental and social impact. However, ...
s why there is an essential need to develop a comprehensive model for investigating the impact of government interventions on the production quantities of refineries considering competition between bio and oil fuels. Although some papers have focused on the tariff policy as a subsidy or a tax ...
Biofuel crops are increasingly promoted as environmental and economical solutions to global energy needs, but actual benefits versus costs may be less favorable than advocates claim. Among the risks associated with their cultivation is the potential to exacerbate the invasive species problem. Evidence is...
