About the Book

A biofuel is a fuel that is produced through contemporary biological processes,
such as agriculture and anaerobic digestion, rather than a fuel produced by geological
processes such as those involved in the formation of fossil fuels, such as
coal and petroleum, from prehistoric biological matter. Although biofuel is fast
emerging as the oil of the future, a number of environmental e ects of biofuel
are also surfacing associated with its use. These biofuel environmental e ects
potentially include decrease in greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, pollution
and the rate of biodegradation. Biofuels are only one component of a range
of alternatives for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. Whether using biodiesel
is able to lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to the fossil fuels may
depend on many factors. Carbon dioxide is known to be one of the major greenhouse
gases. The plant feedstock used in the making biofuels absorbs carbon
dioxide from the atmosphere when it grows and once the biomass is converted
into biodiesel and burnt as fuel, the energy released is used to power an engine
while the carbon dioxide is released back into the atmosphere. There can be
grave e ects of biodiesel fuel on environment if deforestation and monoculture
farming techniques are used to grow biofuel crops. It may damage the ecosystems
and biodiversity and increase the emission of climate change gases rather
than helping controlling them. To meet the demand for cheap oil from the tropical
region, the amount of arable land is being extended in order to increase
production at the cost of tropical rainforest. Another of the environmental
e ects of biodiesel fuels can be seen in its biodegradation rates, which are ve
times faster than petroleum diesel over a period of 28 days. Biodiesel fuel blends
can also accelerate the rate of petroleum diesel degradation through
co-metabolism. Toxicity studies have revealed no mortalities and any toxic
e ects of biodiesel fuel on environment. This book, Environmental Impact of
Biofuels, aims to be a comprehensive summary of current biofuels issues and
thereby contribute to the understanding of this important topic. This book is
recommended for anyone interested in understanding this diverse and developing
theme..
