First Let us start by discussing the question, what is Biofuel?

To put things simply, biofuel is a renewable


energy derived from living materials such as Sugarcane, rice, sunflower oil, and animal fat which are all
organic materials used to create biofuel.
Most biofuels are used as transportation fuels, but they may also be used for heating and electricity
generation.
Biofuel is also known as biomass and produces bioenergy.

Now that that’s finished, lets us move on to the three types of Biofuels. Biofuels can be classified as first
generation, second generation, and third generation.

First-generation biofuels are one of the types of biofuels that are made from sugar, starch, or vegetable
oils. Biofuels of the first generation are “original” biofuels and represent the bulk of biofuels currently in
use.

Second Generation Biofuels are considered “greener” and are made from the organic feedstock. Most
second-generation biofuels are underdeveloped and not commonly available for use. This is due to the
sustainability in this usage, which is characterized by the availability of feedstock,

Third Generation Biofuels which are made from algae are referred to as biofuels of the third generation.
Algae is very promising as a biofuel because it produces high-quality and diverse fuel. Algae produce oil
that is easy to refine into diesel fuel, but algae stability is poorer than other biofuels. Extremely
unsaturated oils are volatile at high temperatures. This means that third generation biofuels may not be
useful in the Philippines, due to the country’s high temperature which may cause the algae’s oils to
evaporate.

Fun Fact, Biofuel can also be classified as liquid, solid, and gas It will be discussed in the next slide!

Wood - The most fundamental type of fuel obtained from biological materials
Biogas - It burns similarly to natural gas and, as a result, is gradually but steadily supplanting it, which is
good because as we know, natural gasses are major contributors in air pollution. Biogas is used by most
agricultural enterprises, and the fuel is presently packaged in gas cylinders for household consumption.
Methanol - is utilized as a clean fuel to power vehicle engines, particularly racing vehicles, in many
regions of the world. Methanol’s chemical makeup is very similar to that of methane; the main
difference is that methane is gaseous, whilst methanol is liquid

Now you might be wondering, what exactly does all of these have to do with promoting the use of
Biofuel

Let us talk about the Advantages of Biofuel
Number 1, Biofuel does not emit hazardous gases such as Carbon monoxide and Sulphur oxide
Second is that reduces the risk of cancer and breathing problems in human beings.
And third, it is Friendly to the environment because they reduce the risk of global warming

To put into perspective how significant those advantages are, we’ve created this infographic. Here we
can see the comparison between coal, oil, and biofuel.
These are the death rates using Oil and Coal compared to Biofuel, and obviously these 2 are much more
deadly than Biofuel since they release much more toxic gasses in the atmosphere.
And the next one we can see the efficiency rate in their electricity production and Biofuel came only
second to Oil, which in all honesty doesn’t have that much of a lead.

And to end our presentation, let us answer the question, why should we switch to Biofuel?
As we know, the energy resource industry is dominated by fossil fuels. And we must admit that Fossil
fuels have been prime contributors in the industrial revolution and has been a tool in many significant
discoveries and inventions in our society and has made the life of mankind easier. But should we really
turn a blind eye to the destruction that it has caused to our atmosphere? Everyone, I present to you a
possible solution.
biofuel has the potential to reduce some undesirable aspects of fossil fuel production and use, including
conventional and greenhouse gas pollutant emissions, exhaustible resource depletion, and dependence
on unstable foreign suppliers
Switching to Biofuel means choosing a much safer and cleaner atmosphere not only for us, but for the
next generations as well,

So, if you want that type of life,

Then biofuel is the best choice.
