DEFINITION OF BIOFUELS
When we say
Biofuels we are referring to biodiesel, bioethanol and biogas being produced from raw materials originating from agricultural or agro-industrial wastes.
The
Biofuels use vegetable biomass to serve as a renewable energy source for engines used. Its use generates less pollution and is a viable alternative to the already significant depletion of fossil fuels such as gas and oil, in which we can already see a sustainable increase in their prices. It t is very important to mention that Biofuels are another alternative, in order to search for alternative energy sources to serve as a transition to a new technology (e.g. hydrogen).
Biofuelss are derived from a variety of agricultural products, as well as forest products.


USE OF BIOFUELS
The Biofuels developed from these products can be used in conventional engines without changing anything, due to its solvent power, requiring only –if necessary– the replacing of driving fuel hoses, due to elements not manufactured on the basis of rubber or polyurethane foam.


ADVANTAGES
The production of biofuels will bring:
• "The creation and openings of new jobs, increased economic activity, reduce dependence on oil; provide the development of alternative energy and mainly caring for the environment".

• A potential solution to the country's energy problem, and the future of non-export agricultural sector, by giving new impetus to a large area of hectares.

Biofuels give nearly the same amount of carbon dioxide than fossil fuels, but unlike these last ones, it is again determined by the vegetation through the process of photosynthesis. This will produce a "carbon cycle", which is burned and the CO2 released into the air, then be set and the cycle will result in a zero balance, as far as emissions are concerned, there is no accumulation of gases. The cycle described contrasts markedly with what happens to the CO2 produced by burning fossil fuels which release carbon fixed makes billions of years, is burned and turned to release, causing the accumulation of the same in the atmosphere, the greenhouse effect and global warming.

Also notable for their knowledge, Biofuel production can cause new products and a potential growth business.
A.- Products and Sub products arising from biofuel production
• Expeller / Pellet, used for a balanced nutrition.
• Glycerol, with these we can obtain high purity glycerin, used in cosmetics and pharmacopoeia.

B.- Business Growth Potential
• Agriculture: Sowing and collection of grain.
• Oil Industries: Production of oil.
• Chemical Industries: Transesterification.
• Oil Companies: Oil mix and distribution ofl biofuels.
