Advantages of Biofuels
1) Biofuels can be used with all kinds of engines and in most conditions
This keeps the engine use longer and needs less care, which saves money
Moreover, they are becoming cheaper in the future.
2) Biofuels are made from many different sources, such as plants grown
for the fuel, and waste from crops. Fossil fuels will end sometime in the
near future. Waste from crops and plants are renewable and are not likely
to run out soon. These crops can be planted again and again
3) Fossil fuels produce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These
greenhouse gases cause the planet to warm. The burning of coal and o
increases the temperature and causes global warming. To reduce green
house gases, people around the world are using biofuels. Scientists say
that biofuels reduce greenhouse gases up to 65 percent.
4) Not every country has much oil. If a country starts using biofuels, this
country will be able to develop its economy. More jobs will be created with
a biofuel industry. It will keep economy strong.
5) Since biofuels are made of renewable resources, they are cleaner
fuels. It means that they produce less dangerous waste and cause less
pollution to the planet.
