As we all know, the development of biofuels not only can ease energy shortages and solve environmental problems, but also can form new economic growth points, there are many benefits, has attracted many countries. According to reports in Kenyan media, some African countries believe that the country’s large area of ​​land has not yet been used. Developing the biofuel industry can increase fiscal revenue to support the development of agriculture. It can also create job opportunities and reduce its dependence on fossil fuels. To this end, these African countries are actively seeking funds and technology to develop the biofuel industry. For example, Ghana, a West African country, will cooperate with Brazil in June this year to build the first Ghana-based biofuels project.
According to reports, countries that already have biofuel projects or are brewing biofuel projects throughout Africa include Nigeria, Mali, South Africa, Kenya, Mozambique, Senegal, Congo (DRC), Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
However, some experts believe that the development of biofuels using corn and other crops as raw materials will inevitably create the contradiction between “energy and people’s struggle for foodâ€. This urgently requires the relevant countries to pay attention to solving them. In addition, although some other projects use cassava, jatropha, and other crops as raw materials, planting them also requires the occupation of cultivated land, and these raw materials have relatively low production efficiency under the present technical conditions, and the economic benefits are not obvious.
In recent years, people have increasingly questioned biofuels. On the one hand, people have realized that although biofuels are a much cleaner fuel than fossil fuels, the process of producing biofuels is not so “cleanâ€. This process is Consuming large quantities of water and fossil fuels can even cause ecological damage in some places. On the other hand, people are worried that the development of biofuels will squeeze farmland.
In recent years, the development of biofuels has been on the rise in many parts of the world, and many African countries have also expressed their interest in this. However, under the current technological conditions, biofuels are mostly developed from corn, sugarcane and other crops. For Africa, where food is long-term deficient, the advantages and disadvantages of developing biofuels are of concern.
