Understanding Biofuels
Aruvian's R'search, Nov 2009, Pages: 150
The topic of biofuels has drawn increased interest worldwide in the wake of steeply-climbing fossil fuel prices in 2005-2006. In late 2006/early 2007 prices began to subside, but are unlikely to return to their former levels. The painful experience of national economies at the mercy of decisions taken far from their shores left a lasting impression on policymakers, and many nations now have a strong desire to increase energy self-reliance.
By substituting biofuels partially for imported oil, cash-strapped developing countries can invest their scarce capital in their own farms and industries rather than exporting it to wealthier oil-producing nations. If that reinvestment can be made in ways that help the poor escape poverty without degrading their lands, biofuels could contribute to equitable economic development, energy self-reliance and reducing carbon emissions into the atmosphere.
Biofuels are renewable fuels that are predominantly produced from domestically produced biomass feed stocks or as a by product from the industrial processing of agricultural or food products, or from the recovery and reprocessing of products such as cooking and vegetable oil. Biofuel contains no petroleum, but it can be blended at any level with petroleum fuel to create a biofuel blend. It can be used in conventional healing equipment or diesel engine with no major modification. Biofuel is simple to use, biodegradable, non-toxic and essentially free of sulfur and aromatics. Ethanol and biodiesel are the most widely recognized biofuel sources for transport sector.
Aruvian Research brings an in-depth coverage for this industry in its latest research report - Understanding Biofuels. The report looks at the basics of biofuels, the different types of biofuels available, the various uses, advantages, and disadvantages of biofuels, along with the critical factors influencing demand and supply scenarios in the global biofuel industry, the regulatory policy initiatives, vehicle compatibility, and the current and proposed production capacity of biofuels.
The report helps assess the feasibility of production of biofuels and the potential of biofuels. The technologies used in the industry, global experience with biofuel programs with a special focus on Brazil, biofuel plants, project profiles, and a special section on the viability of biofuels indices sets this report apart from others. Read on to the table of contents for the wide range of contents focused on in Aruvian’s comprehensive coverage of the Biofuels industry.
