Jun 16, 2006 Biomass on earth

Biofuel is any fuel that derives from biomass. the production of biofuels to replace oil and natural gas is in active development, focusing on the use of cheap organic matter (usually crops, rape seeds, potatos, agricultural residues and manure from cows)...

Environmental benefits:
Biodiesel reduces emissions of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide on a net lifecycle basis because the carbon in biodiesel emissions is recycled from carbon that was already in the atmosphere, rather than being new carbon from petroleum. The greenhouse effect therefore reduces. Also, biodiesel reduces the emission of particulates. This reduces cancer risks. Moreover, biodiesel is biodegradable and non-toxic, biodiesel is less toxic than table salt and biodegrades as quickly as sugar.

Another reason is to increase farm incomes and strenghen rural economies by using the organic products.

Now, i'm studying this kind of stuffs...find the way to develop this market, and try to find out the good reasons why people should use biofuel instead of petroleum.
