Advantages Of Bio Fuel In Pakistan

863 Words4 Pages

Introduction: Increasing gap between supply and demand of electricity in Pakistan has greatly limited Pakistan’s potential and its economy suffers as a result. Pakistan is an energy deficient country (most of the input resources are imported especially oil), since most of the electricity is produced using oil and other fossil fuels, the current rate of depletion has pushed the prices of these non-renewable resources upwards increasing Pakistan’s costs in addition the rate of consumption is increasing by about 5% per annum . The energy consumption sectors include domestic commercial industrial agricultural transport and other government sectors. The only way Pakistan has any chance of keeping up with the demand for the electricity is if it starts using RET (renewable energy technology), which is continuous and a cheap supply of energy, otherwise Pakistan will face severe economic growth constraint in the future, …show more content…

What is bio-fuel? Bio fuel is defined as the fuel produced by using biological constituent elements and living matter such as animals and plants. It is often derived using organic matter indirectly from domestic, agricultural or industrial leftovers (biomass or bio waste). They are often called agro-fuel. Bio-fuels are roughly divided into four categories or generations The first generation bio-fuels are made from sugars, oil, animal fats and starches. These fuels are made from already known processes and technologies and include biodiesel, bio-alcohols, bio-ethanol and biogases (methane etc) captured from landfill

  • Alberta's Economic Benefits Of Changing Over To Ethanol Fuel

    788 Words  | 4 Pages

    Thinking about what ethanol fuel actually is, many may not know. Right now everyone pretty well uses either gasoline or diesel to run their cars. However if we were to switch over to ethanol fuel, using gasoline and diesel would be long gone. As (Nrcan.gc.ca, 2013) states ethanol fuel is a liquid alcohol which has hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon being added to it. However the actual ethanol is not made until a crop such as wheat or corn undergoes the process of fermentation.

    The result: We 'll be extracting 2,000 to 2,700 gallons of fuel per acre (as opposed to about 400 gallons with today 's technology). With better fuels and more-efficient engines improving mileage by about 50 percent, we can safely predict a seven- to tenfold gain in miles driven per acre of land over the next 25 years. Given this biohol trajectory, a future of independence from gasoline becomes not only possible but probable. And the trajectory begins with garden-variety corn ethanol" (My Big Biofuels Bet).

    In today 's society almost everything that we use in our everyday lives requires some kind of energy source. With our reliance on these sources growing exponentially we have started to become more dependent on other countries to supply our fuel. With this dependence countries debt continues to grow and this has a very negative effect on the country 's economy. Energy can be split into two main groups renewable and nonrenewable. The difference between these two is the fact that one we cannot exhaust and the other we only have a limited supply of.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Gasoline Engines

    94 Words  | 1 Pages

    If we switch over to all electric engines, the gas industry will have a drastic decline in business and could possibly go out of business. Gas stations make it easy to just fill up and go more miles, while electric needs time to fill up, and also needs special electric service requirements of 220 volt plugs sometimes and higher amperages to charge the vehicle. Gas stations also provide a place to buy food for the road. I believe that gasoline engines overpower electric for many reasons, mostly because electric is les reliable than

    INTRODUCTION For the past decades, the U.S. has been relying on the foreign countries for energy resources. As the country’s population increases rapidly, the country as a whole uses up more energy. In this situation, continually relying on foreign countries will only weaken this country. Corn ethanol fuel is an idea and a thought which the government thinks of to solve this situation.

    As with human limitation, so too I believe would the Church teaching of bioenhancements be limited in what it can accomplish in connecting the body and technology. Pope Francis, in his recent encyclical Laudato Si, acknowledges the technology capabilities in the hardworking people of the twenty-first century, with a God-given creativity and talent for science, saying that “…those who possess particular gifts for the advancement of science and technology [should not] be prevented from using their God-given talents for the service of others[, however]… [w]e need constantly to rethink the goals, effects, overall context and ethical limits of this human activity, which is a form of power involving considerable risks” (par. 131, 132).

    Ethanol fuel produced from corn is a renewable energy source that hoped to replace fossil fuels as the main source of fuel for vehicles. It is produced mainly through the dry grind method, a process that involves liquification and fermentation. Ethanol has potential as an alternative energy source, but like most options, it has its advantages and disadvantages. There are various advantages to using ethanol fuel, some of which include the reduction of greenhouse gases produced, its biodegradable nature, its positive net energy balance, and the fact that most of the mechanisms required to initiate the widespread use of ethanol are already available. Ethanol minimizes damage to the environment while promising sustainability.

    Ethanol Emissions Another goal of the ethanol mandate is to reduce harmful emission released into the atmosphere to preserve the environment. The Alternative Fuel Data Center (AFDC), a branch of the DoE claims that corn-based ethanol helps reduce anywhere between 19-48 percent, subject to the source of energy used during the production (n.d.). The claim only represents the reduction of emission in vehicles; it does not encompass the emission produced by households, factories, heavy equipment, and even ethanol plants. The U.S. ethanol production relies heavily on corn.

    In particular, biofuel is of poor value compared to regular gasoline. Robert Bryce, writer for The New York Times, explains that biofuel has a “lower energy density” compared to gasoline so you have to buy more biofuel to get the same total energy output as straight gasoline (Bryce). Fueleconomy.gov, a Federal Government Website, contends that a car which that burns the most common form of biofuel get less miles to the gallon (Bryce). Bryce declares that biofuel is a “boondoggle” because it is a poor value compared to gasoline (Bryce). In addition, biofuels are not as environmentally clean as predicted.

    Nuclear power is,” the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power station. The term includes nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion.” Nuclear energy obtained from the fission of uranium and plutonium nucleus represents a significant share of humankind energy resources. Its production in appropriately designed nuclear fission reactors is especially important as a low- defilement accessory to fossil fuels. Nowadays, nuclear power is marked as one of the most environmental friendly sources of power produce in the world.

    these are based on fossil fuels like coal, petrol, diesel, kerosene and natural gases. Fossil fuels are obtained from biologically degradable materials such as plant and animal but undergoing million years of excessive heat, pressure, chemical and biological reactions. Thus formation of these fuels takes very long time. Also they are non-renewable sources of energy.
