BIO FUEL TECHNOLOGY ERA

Our world is changing nowadays and the source of energy is the basis of the world to sustain in future. Research shows that as the usage of the Petroleum increases up to 60% the petrochemical of the world reservoir will come to an end near 2025. Engineers and Scientist has researched a lot and many sources of energy are now adopted by the world for the usage in coming era. One of them is the BIO FUEL technology. 

WHAT IS BIO FUEL?

Bio Fuel is most commonly known source of alternative energy in coming era of human race. 
Bio Fuel is natural alternative from other Fossil fuels that is attained from living or biological material which is just died.
Usually Bio Fuel is produced by using Ethanol from naturally grown plant matter which will help environment friendly earth.
For the production of Bio fuels mostly Plant and manufacturers use Corn, Corn Cob, Sugar Cane, Soyabean, fla seed, rapeseed, vegetable oils, waste cooking oils, animal fats, tall oils and from cow manure also.

PRODUCTION OF BIO FUEL:

Bio fuels are produced by very simple process even in the own small garage. From the oil used for frying food etc is collected. Even the vegetable oils can also be used for the production of bio fuels. Then the fuel is heated at high temperature to reduce the viscosity. After this process all the raw materials should be removed by filtration and the bio fuel is ready to be used. These fuels can only be used in the Diesel engines and the results are excellent.

Another process for the production of bio fuel is fermentation. This is the same process from which beer are produced. The final product is Ethanol. Ethanol can be directly used as fuel or either is is mixed with gasoline to increase the octane value of fuel and its environment friendly also.

Mostly the Sugar industry produce the Ethanol from the fermentation process of starch or sugar and its produced now worldwide as the Bio fuel production.

BIO FUEL TYPES:

Basically there are three major types of bio fuels as Solid, Liquid and Gaseous Bio fuel. Bio diesel is a liquid bio fuel used in the engines in place of Petro Diesel. The bio gas like Ethanol is the gaseous Bio fuel used in many country of world with success. Saw dust, wood chips are the solid bio fuels but these are not common and are not used at industrial state.

ADVANTAGES OF BIO FUEL:

The basic advantage of bio fuel is that its environment friendly even some amount of carbon dioxide is being produced while burning of Bio Fuel  but its percentage is very less than from the burning of Petro fuels. 

Also its an edge that engines using Bio fuels has much greater life than that of diesel engines as its provide much better residual and also less residual is produced even in the burning process of the Bio fuels.

DISADVANTAGE OF BIO FUELS:

Bio fuel has also some disadvantages on the other hand to advantages. For the production of large scale Bio fuel large land is required for the cultivation of the seeds and the corps which is used as the raw material for the production of Bio fuels. In the day top day increasing population its been a problem to vacate so much land for the production for corps.

But in my opinion the world will have to click this technology today or tomorrow as its the best replacement to the Diesel and Petro chemical.
