Introduction
The article focuses on how to make biofuels, the advantages of biofuels over other sources of fuel and how the biofuels are important to economies of different countries. Biofuels is a very important source of fuels used in propelling vehicles. It is an alternative source of fuel, which is environmental friendly. Scientists have demonstrated that biofuels can be made from organic materials. The organic materials can be converted into liquid biofuels. The organic materials, which are converted into biofuels, include the shrubs, trees, seeds, fungi, algae, grasses and even animal fats. The biofuels generated from these organic materials power ships, cars and the planes.
The article presents that the advantage of biofuels over other organic fuels is that the biofuels is environmentally friendly as they help reduces the green house gas emissions. This is because it produces an alternative way of releasing gas carbon (IV) oxide into the atmosphere. This reduces the global warming effect. An example of biofuels is alcohol biofuels known as Ethanol. This is distilled from starchy and sugary plants (Agarwa 44). . Vegetables generate biodiesels.
The article’s strength is that it presents clearly the alternative sources of fuels, which is biofuels. It talks about how to manufacture and use biofuels to power the engines of cars, ships and even vehicles (Agarwa 73). The articles strength also presents itself when it talks of the advantages of biofuels over other organic fuels. This especially related to environmental concern as they reduce the green house gas effect.
The article’s disadvantage is that it does not talk about the disadvantages of this biofuels. It is costly to establish and produce biofuels. It is also known that the biofuels perform poorly in cold temperate countries and normally damages the modified vehicles. The article also does not compare clearly between biofuels and the inorganic fuels. For example, the inorganic biofuels contains lead, which is a pollutant to the environment. The article does not mention that, which is also its other weakness. The paper is important as it provides an alternative source of fuel, which is environmentally friendly.
