Answer
Developing biofuels on a large scale as an alternative to fossil fuels and to reduce waste generation can be beneficial for several reasons:
- Climate Change Mitigation — Biofuels have lower carbon emissions, reducing greenhouse gas impact. Their production and combustion release CO2, but the CO2 is offset by the absorption of CO2 during biomass growth.
- Waste Reduction — Utilizing organic waste for biofuel production helps reduce waste accumulation and promotes a circular economy by converting waste into a valuable resource.
- Energy Independence — Biofuels decrease reliance on fossil fuel imports, enhancing energy security. It provides an alternative and domestically sourced fuel option.
- Rural Development and Job Creation — Biofuel production supports agricultural activities and creates employment opportunities in farming, biomass supply chains, and biofuel production facilities.
- Technological Advancements — Investment in biofuel research drives innovation for more efficient and sustainable production processes.
