background of the study

Sir,
My research you’ve currently approved is the “Kasoy as a potential source of biofuel”, the background of the study I have made is not yet finalize, it’s just like the draft because I’m still trying to have it in better arrangement. Ibig ko pong sabihin ay yung pagkakasunud-sunod ng mga impormasyong aking nakalap. I will still fix it, actually edit it, and make it better. I’m still searching for more infos. Sir, can you please correct the mistakes and tell me the things you want to improve. Thank you po for the time!!!

Background of the Study
We are constantly being told that the era of cheap oil is over, but the truth is that the era of oil of any kind is going to be over as well. It’s finite, and every aspect of it is both dirty and expensive, right down to the wars that are being fought over it.
The conversion of plant sugars into alcohol has been occurring for as long as history has been recorded. As far back as 10,000BC people were making beer, possibly even before bread was first produced. The process of distillation of an ethanol solution is very simple and has been and still is employed by home distillers around the world for making beverages such as fortified wines, whiskey, moonshine, vodka and so on. This is an effective process, so much so that some alcoholic beverages can act as fuels and burn once introduced to a flame.
Biofuel, which is also called agro fuel, is a fuel made from what we call biomass, which in this case is a plant, living or recently dead. Some of the best source plants are corn, sugarcane, and hemp, although biofuel can be produced from any biological carbon source. Even garbage can be used, bringing up the specter of landfill farms. Biofuels are attempting to fill a staggering need; to replace petroleum as our primary transport fuel on a permanent basis. The planetary economy and way of life depends on the transportation sector. And that usually means cars. This kind of fuel carries with them an image of sustainability and environmentally friendliness and the promise of allowing us to continue our use of automobiles without damaging the planet. Some of these ideas have been realized at least in part, whereas other problems have come to light that are casting biofuels in a less than green lime light.
Ethanol is technically the same type of alcohol found in Johnny Walker Red. It is easy to manufacture and process, and can be made from very common materials, like corn or sugar cane. It can also come from cellulose. That particular form has been too expensive up to now, but a plant came online in Canada in 2004. Like all of the other biofuel ventures, it was heavily supported by its government, both as a financier and customer. The costs will be worth it. This technology could transform agricultural byproducts like straw sawdust and corncobs into renewable energy resources. Of equal interest is the idea of producing biodiesel and its energy rich by-product glycerin from both used and new vegetable oils. This process is in turn dependent on supplies of methanol and sodium hydroxide, also called lye. It is possible to make lye at home but is is much easier and cheaper to purchase it pre made.
In order to be economically viable, biofuel crops need to produce the highest possible fuel output. In the United States corn is the politically preferred crop for biofuel and it is the corn cob itself that is the source of the raw materials for making fuel. Making fuel out of the plant matter left over after a crop is harvested is another possibility. Plants are made mainly of cellulose which is simply very long chains of sugar molecules joined together. It is the intertwining and chemical bonding between strands of cellulose that make them so hard to digest. One way of breaking cellulose apart is using the enzyme cellulase. This enzyme dissolves the cellulose strands into simple sugars as do the enzymes in our mouths, for example when we suck on a piece of bread.
Cellulase is produced by very few organisms. Common garden snails produce it, which is why snails can feed on newspapers and cardboard. Another organism that produces it is the Trichonympha, which lives in the gut of termites. The termites eat dead wood which the Trichonympha digest. They are very efficient and produce more sugars than they need to survive. The termites survive on the excess sugar production and so this symbiotic relationship endures. Several other organisms including some plants and fungi are also able to produce cellulase.Being able to produce the enzyme cellulase in commercial quantities would surely be a key advance toward developing truly environmentally friendly fuels. Since all plants are made virtually entirely from cellulose we could make fuel from any waste plant material; lawn clippings, bamboo, dead branches, driftwood, anything. Unfortunately use of cellulase in industrial applications for this purpose is still in the experimental phase.
Similarly in Australia and many South East Asia and South American countries, sugar cane one of the crops of choice. The stems of the cane plant are rich in simple sucrose that is easily converted into ethanol.Both these crops have the immediate problem of using not only food producing land but the food itself as a fuel source. The recent surge in global demand and price of food makes this practice unsustainable. If biofuels are to be adopted in a serious manner for the long term we need to develop ways of producing them that do not compromise food production.
Automotive fuel requires high power density, run by clean burning, generally liquid fuels. Biofuels are considered to be a great alternative to oil, although the process of getting them to market has been called as harmful as the oil that they replace. This debate has been going on for some time and will not be resolved here. But nobody is denying that biofuels are a powerful step in the right direction. They have a quality that oil can never deliver: they grow back. Their source can be replanted and re-harvested, perhaps forever. This is their greatest advantage. In the words of Per Carstedt, CEO of SEKAB, Sweden’s largest biofuel company, “They are available for thousands of years; as long as you have the sun.”
Alan Adler believes that, “Ethanol provides the greatest near-term possibility to offset if not replace petroleum. In addition to customer choice it does reduce greenhouse emissions. Coskada could reduce them by up to 84 percent.” Jan Lindstedt says the future of ethanol is “great,” and that ethanol has “a great future. We must have something to replace fossil fuel. It’s now really taking off.”

ps. pls give comment to me po. thank you!!!
