Biofuel

What would happen if we lost eighty percent of the world’s population due to starvation? It sounds impossible, however, our everyday decisions are contributing to this insane and preventable forthcoming. There has always been a strong debate as to whether or not we would be able to feed ourselves in the future, in the sense of there being enough food. Nowadays, many of the world’s hungriest countries and populations depend on the help of others to get their necessities. Earth is a cruel…

(Houghton). NAD can then be reused to oxidize sugar by glycolysis, which creates two molecules of ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation. Fermentation uses glycolysis for electron transportation to create energy (ATP). This leads to the production of biofuels and the positive outcome it would have on the environment. Like the article said, fermentation can be one way to make ethanol using yeast (Bourne). Using this method of making ethanol adds oxygen to diesel/petroleum blends, which reduce…

Stevia hasn�t been examined as a source of biofuel, but through fermentation could generate interesting pharmaceutical compounds. Intriguingly, it could even act as a cure against cancer while also being a sugar substitute. Sucrose is made up of multiple carbon rings so it might have more energy.…

going to get worse as time progresses. There is currently no reliable evidence that food manufactured with genetically modified ingredients are harmful to humans (Bittman 202). GM technology has quite a bit of potential when associated with creating biofuels all the way to creating cures for cancer. A great additive to this, is that after all the years of producing GMOs, there have been no illnesses or harm recorded that is related to the genetic modification. Many countries around the world are…

that took months to repair. The problem with electric motors is that they can not produce enough power to get the plane off the ground, so the only alternative to conventional kerosene-based jet fuel are special types of biofuels. This is not an ideal solution since biofuels can be environmentally problematic itself and it would take a large share of the world's arable land to grow enough crops for fuel to all the world's aircraft. It is not easy to change the ways of the world at one time…

1. Introduction Famine and Food Crisis are related societal phenomena. Because of the inter-linked nature of the factors of hunger, you can be sure that the food crisis will in turn cause more debt, more conflicts, more health problems, more famines, more poverty and more poor government decisions as they struggle to react to growing dangers. This essay will define famine, its global perspective and root causes of famine. And lastly define food crisis, its global perspective and nature and…

Since the invention of modern technologies, oil is one of the most important source in this world. This is due to its variety kind of usage that will not only contribute to people but also towards any country that uses this source. For now, fossil fuel is widely being used as the primary oil in a lot of sectors such as transportation, production and manufacturing. As for that, we can conclude that fossil fuel is very important towards enhancing the growth of economy but with all of the…

There are complications with biofuels that some are trying to implement to save us from global warming, though it fails. Biofuels were designed to absorb a lot of the Carbon Dioxide and it was proven that it would take around 500 years to make any difference. Biofuels take up farmlands that are for food, which have to be watered too often. Water scarcity is an issue around the world that is especially…

The reason for the increase of individuals using food banks are in relations to the drastic increase in food prices and the cost of transporting/shipping the food as well. When food suddenly costs more, those who can least afford it get hit hardest. Sadly foods that have little nutritional value are the least expensive so people on limited incomes will purchase more unhealthy foods than fresh fruits, vegetables and meat. On average, Canadians spend less than ten percent of their income on food.…

Renewable energy sources such as water, the wind, biofuel, and solar have little or no carbon emissions and, therefore, scores highly well in the replacement of fossil fuels. However, the cost of eliminating these emissions through renewable energy is high for all the alternatives. However, when considering the potential for the reduction of the emissions, wind power holds the best potential for reducing the emissions followed by biofuels and solar energy scoring the lowest on the list. Even…
