What I learned by doing the research paper on BIO-FUEL

When I arrived at home yesterday around 7:00 P.M. , there was a power failure. Although I wanted to be under fan in order to relax, I didn’t get that opportunity because of this power issue. I understood that there should be some alternative energy sources in order to contribute to the national electricity generation. Therefore, I decided to study about bio-fuel, how it is beneficial and how we can produce bio-gas at home.
Firstly, I learned what bio-fuels are. Bio-fuels have three main types. They are solid bio-fuels, liquid bio-fuels and gaseous bio-fuels. Firewood which we can find everywhere is a solid form of bio-fuel. Bio-ethanol and bio-diesel provide examples for liquid matter. The most common bio-fuel category is bio-gas. Although I don’t know all forms of bio-fuel other than bio-gas theoretically, after doing the research paper, I learned about them more.
Secondly, I studied the benefits of using bio-fuel. As bio-fuel is eco-friendly form of energy, it doesn’t harm the environment. People can sell firewood to increase their incomes. There are some plants which contain oil seeds. People can grow them in degraded lands due to infertility. Thus, people are able to make use of barren lands too. Above all, bio-gas is one of the best made to generate electricity and cooking gas for domestic purposes at cheap price.
Third, I acquired knowledge how to setup a bio-gas unit at home. Years and years, I was wondering how to make bio-gas unit at my court yard from animal and plant waste. Because of the research, I learned that it is not a hard task. It is needed only some barrels with lids, pipes, tubes and manure. I was delighted when I realized it also powered by the nature.
In conclusion, when doing the research on bio-fuels, I learned what bio-fuels are, what the benefits of them are and how to set up a bio-gas unit at home premises as well as how it works.  By working on the research paper, I enjoy searching for details and reading them as this is my favorite field that I wished to study beyond one day.
