Identify the most viable options for producing biofuels

Assignment Help Mechanical Engineering
Reference no: EM131253120

The assignment asks to write a report about the following:

The Annual Energy Outlook with Projections report released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration projects annual consumption estimates for various fuel types through the next 25 years. According to the report, biofuels will play an increasing role in the liquid fuel supply over that time period. Based on technologies commercially available or reasonably expected to become available in the next decade, identify the most viable options for producing biofuels. Compare several options based on energy return on energy invested (EROEI), water and land requirements, and effects on global climate change. Draw conclusions based on your study, and present your findings in a report with at least 5 references.

The question of the report can be found in the attached textbook of Moran Shapiro Fundamentals Engineering Thermodynamics 7th on page 584. Question number 9.3D

Note, the question on the textbook only askes for 3 references. However, the professor askeds for 5 references.

So the constrains are as follows;

1- Use at least 5 references.

2. Write at least 5 pages of the body (so the cover page and the references page are not included as one of the 5 pages).

3- The report must be written in professional format and language.
