Powering Canada With Biofuel Energy!

There is a growing concern these days for the environment, and several countries have actually taken the effort to promote the use of renewable resource to decrease mankind's influence on the planet. Canada is one such country taking the lead in green technologies, and using biofuels is among the steps they have taken in ending up being one of the world's leaders in the intake of eco-friendly fuels.

Biofuels are just liquid fuels manufactured from plant and animal materials. Because this matter is naturally degradable, it is not only capable of powering cars and heating homes, but the waste is then soaked up once again into the earth, nurturing new life able to provide future eco-friendly energy sources.

Bioethanol, frequently referred to as simply ethanol, is the most common biofuel currently in production. Canada's federal government has taken note of ethanol's capacity as an alternative renewable resource and developed a plan requiring gasoline to consist of 5% ethanol by the end of this year. The plan would also require diesel fuels to consist of at least 2% ethanol by the end of 2012. As a matter of fact, the provincial government of Manitoba has taken a management role in the biodiesel industry by developing mandates requiring comparable percentages as those devised by the federal government that will enter into impact in 2010. This precedes the federal required by 2 years. Manitoba is known for its meadow lands, the crops that grow there, and the animals that graze upon these crops. The quantity of plant and animal materials readily available for the production of biofuels is terrific. Manitoba has motivated the provincial federal government of British Columbia to adopt similar strategies.

The corporation of Raven Biofuels Limited was developed to research study and establish technologies favorable to effective and respected use of biofuels throughout Canada, and they have determined British Columbia as a starting point. Joining Raven Biofuels International Corporation (RBIC), their goal is to pay RBIC a fee supplying them exclusive rights to biofuel development in Canada. Their intent is to construct the first industrial biorefinery and place it in Kamloops, British Columbia. Though it might appear as though a monopoly or trust would emerge from this collaboration, the goal is to set an example and to offer guidance to other prospective business endeavors. Municipalities have partnered with British Columbia's provincial government to create the BC Bioenergy Strategy, which has actually currently amassed $25 million to fund a Biofuel Network focused on furthering biofuel energy innovation not simply in British Columbia, however throughout Canada.
