What are Bio-fuels?

Bio-feuls are a wide range of fuels that are made from biomass, or organic matter. It has been gaining popularity because of the rising of gas/oil prices. Another form of bio-fuel is biodiesel which is made form vegetable oil, animal fats, or recycled greases.

Advantages With Bio-fuels, he United States wouldn’t

have to rely on other countries for oil. Having bio-fuels can cut gas bills in half. It is non-toxic and biodegradable. It doesn’t require many changes (if any at

all) to your car and/or other utility places. Decreases carbon levels by 50-60%.

Disadvantages Some bio-fuels use certain yellow greases

that can clog filters; to stop this we will be extremely specific in the types of oils and grease that goes into our cars.

The machinery isn’t normally powered by bio-fuels, so it emits carbon. To stop this we will make sure all of our machines are bio-fueled.

Setting aside land for biofuel crops means less land for food production. Ohio has enough open land for both of them.

Safety Concerns/Issues Bio-fuel has potential lethal

chemicals. The price of foods may increase. An environment problem is pollutants

like particulates and PAH (polycyclic aromatic nydrocarbons)

Economic Factors Bio-fuel, now, has very good savings

and cost efficiency. In the future if more people tend to

use it the price will steadily increase.

Environmental Factors It is the only fuel to successfully

complete the Health Effects Testing requirements. So, it does not pollute the air.

What is a Bio-Diesel Car?A bio-diesel or bio-fuel car is a car that

runs primarily on renewable fuel sources. Benefits of this are:

• Sources, like animal fats and vegetable oil, can be found almost everywhere.

• You can grow your own fuel. Almost every brand out there has a

biodiesel brand car.• For example: Jeep, Volkswagen, Mercedes Benz

and Dodge have biodiesel cars.
