Hello everyone,
When I first started out researching my biofuels topic this semester, I really had no idea what I was looking for or what I would find. The only thing I hoped to find was accurate information to teach me more about biofuel production. I feel like the overall goal of my research project, to learn more and hopefully educate others based on what I have learned, is still what I want.
That being said, I feel like my opinions on biofuels are beginning to change as well. One thing I am beginning to see is that most articles indicate that corn based biofuels are not as great as I once thought they were. In fact the goal of most governments is to get away from biofuels made with corn, and try to make biofuels from other more useless crops. The problem is, the technology for creating biofuels from these is not quite up to speed with the process used to make corn based biofuels. With this in mind, I think corn based biofuels are still necessary to meet society's demands until this technology does exist.
This research has led me to get another goal for my project, which is to find out what crops and technology will be used in creating the next generation of biofuels. From reading through a few articles, there is much potential in creating usable biofuel from such products as switchgrass, an inedible bush in Africa, and other wood-like plants. I think this goal will fit in perfectly with my project's overall goal, and I hope it could be used to teach others about the potential for biofuels from other sources.
Thanks for reading,
Matthew Willis
I like where you are going with your research. i think it is a great idea to find alternative things to make biofuels. I see you dont have any problems that you are experiencing that have shaped the changing of your research paper you just have alternatives and enhancements that make for an even better research paper. I know how you feel when you read articles and they spark up new ideas to add to your paper which is similar to what I have experienced. keep up the good work I am excited to read your ending product.
ReplyDeleteI do not know a lot about your topic, but it seems that you have done a lot of research on it and know what you are talking about. I can tell that you know what you want to do and where you want your project to go. I am excited to see where it takes you, and maybe I will learn more about it also.
