Less drain on freshwater supplies with seawater fuel discovery

A greater amount of freshwater can now be conserved thanks to the discovery that saltwater  and marine yeast can be used to produce bioethanol instead of freshwater and edible crops.  The study was conducted by Dr. Abdelrahman of the School of Biosciences.  There is an abundance of seawater on our planet and the limited supply of freshwater, making freshwater valuable and this discovery very important.  Global warming  has also become an issue in recent years.  The effects of global warming have caused people to look for an alternate form of energy.  Bioethanol is one of the best alternative fuels.  Now that it can be produced without wasting freshwater, it has become even more environmentally friendly.  Conserving earth's natural resources should be everyone's goal. Using bioethanol can help bring us one step closer to that goal because it is an alternate source of energy, it conserves freshwater for drinking, and it saves crops.

    This will definitely help humankind in the future by providing more freshwater and energy due to the discovery of Bioethanol.

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
