- Biolfuels
- Levels of carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere are increasing
- This is contributing to 'Global Warming'
- An increase of the Earth's temperature by only a few degrees Celsius:
- May cause big changes in the Earth's climate
- May cause a rise in sea level
- May reduce biodiversity
- May cause changes in migration patterns, e.g. Birds
- May result in changes in the distribution of species
- Carbon dioxide can be sequestered in:
- Oceans
- Lakes
- Ponds
- This is an important factor in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
- Biogas
- Biofuels can be made form natural products
- By ANAEROBIC FERMENTATION
- Biogas (mainly METHANE) can be produced in this way
- By anaerobic fermentation of a wide range of plant products or waste materials
- Which contain carbohydrates
