The storage capacity of the world's resources is progressively being pushed to its limits and will continue with a population expected to increase by 70% by 2050. With the population in the continuously growing world, the same goes for the consumption of abundant quantities of natural resources, including non-renewable products that are running out of energy such as fossil fuels. A combination of alternative energy sources along with reducing dependence on fossil fuels can reduce the effects of global warming. In an effort to combat this problem, scientists have turned to biofuels as an answer. Biofuels are energy sources produced by living organisms that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere. Proponents of biofuels argue that they can reduce greenhouse gases by growing plants or biomass that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, emitted by crude oil. However, critics argue that biofuels pose a threat to global food shortages and unpredictable environmental changes. It is necessary to implement the necessary actions to counteract oil's damage to the environment and the impending energy crisis that surrounds it. Biofuels require urgent global priority due to impending energy issues in the coming years, and cellulosic biomass has the potential to support future energy needs through higher production yields. The increase in energy demand is expected to increase by at least fifty percent by 2050, while crude oil resources are rapidly decreasing. without a feasible replacement. Shifting global dependence on fossil fuels represents a step forward in managing greenhouse gas emissions. The US Department of Energy has set a goal of replacing 30% of its liquid petroleum with biofuels in an effort to encourage a... middle of paper... sustainable energy movement. The environmental impacts are more attractive than what oil refining spews into the atmosphere. Biofuels are great for replacing oil because the biomass that creates the biofuel removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Biomass can also be planted in poor agricultural conditions, making the production and conversion process billions of dollars cheaper while increasing revenue. Without directly competing with food cropland, biofuels could not influence food demand. Unlike biofuels, oil does not have the sustainability and ability to end dependence on foreign oil by creating higher economic income. The benefits of biomass converted to cellulosic ethanol are endless: not investing in this new technology will have harmful effects on the global environment and send the world into an energy crisis.
