Brazilian Sugarcane Reduce Global Emissions

This article describes how Brazilian sugarcane could potentially replace 13.7% of the world's crude oil consumption and reduce global emissions. This could be made possible by reducing the emissions from combustion of fossil fuels. The production of fuel ethanol from sugarcane for use instead of the burning of fossil fuels. I think this is productive article because it is looking to help the environment and giving possible replacements for the burning of fossil fuels.

    I believe it is always interesting to read an article about how we can innovate different things to create an alternate fuel. It would be cool to see how this compares to other alternate fuels. All together the article was an interesting read and opened my thoughts to the topic presented.

    I found a lot of new information that I had not known before. I think it would be a unique way to use an alternate fuel to innovate different things. I think it could also help the environment by using a different source of fuel. I found the article very interesting to read about.

    Great Article glad someone brought up a article about a alternate to fuel. I think we should bring it up in class honestly this could be a game changer.

    Great articular! strangely enough we can use more then just gas to use as fuel(sarcasm), if only more people thought that way.

    I think that this is great, however I feel that while the advancement in the fuel department is great, the technology in the engine department is not. I'd be more worried about peoples vehicles becoming damaged as a result from ethanol. I've heard numerous people explain how ethanol is good, since it reduces consumption of fossil fuels, but when you run it in a car that wasn't designed for it, it can cause premature wear on several of the fuel components.

    Having renewable resources instead of fossil fuels is a great thing and I agree with you. However I feel that companies will still stick with non renewable energy because its faster than sugarcane.

    If sugarcane were to replace burning fossil fuels does it still create any pollution?

    Used Fry oil made from soy or canola can also be used as a safe alternative to diesel fuel, and better yet its cheap. Restaurants go through the stuff faster than we could fill our cars with it.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
