In current history biofuels such as biodiesel and bioethanol have become big organization all over the world. Many countries have taken a keen interest in their continued manufacture and use, including developing nations such as Brazil which is viewed as a world leader in biofuel development. Even smaller sized nations such as the United Kingdom presently utilize around one and a half million litres of biofuel a year and aim to increase this three-fold within the next ten years.

But wait, there's an issue.

There is however a considerable issue; with the increase in popularity of biofuels as has the level of criticism increased. From the "food versus fuel" dispute, links to food cost increases and impact of water resources to issues over deforestation and loss of biodiversity there are mounting difficulties for the fuel to overcome.
But there is want to be found in a range of innovations broadly referred to as second generation biofuels. Such fuels are produced from sustainable feedstock instead of the traditionally editable crops used in very first generation biofuels (sugarcane, corn etc.) hence preventing a number of the issues discussed previously.

Wish for the future

One such technology is Algae Fuel, which can produce as much as 3 hundred times more oil per acre than traditional crops along with growing twenty to thirty times faster. As if these advantages weren't considerable enough it is also possible to cultivate algae on typically unusable land such as land stricken by drought or consisting of really high levels of saline.
Another hugely promising fuel is Cellulosic Ethanol which is simply sustain produced from non-edible parts of plants (or certainly turfs and other plants that are inedible). This fuel source shares some benefits with Algae fuel such as high per-acre efficiency but has the special advantage that no special growing is needed. Cellulose is included in practically all plants growing across the world.

Or should that be expect today?

These may sound like science-fiction but the truth of the matter is that by 2008 the United States was currently producing twelve million litres of fuel from cellulosic ethanol with production facilities capable for producing an additional eighty million gallons each year in advancement.
There is much to be delighted about in the Biofuel market from both an organization and eco-friendly perspective and continued growth especially in second generation technologies seems guaranteed. Such fast grown represents an exciting time for alternative energy production.
