    Celebrate the essence of living a healthy life: World Biofuel Day 2021

    Guwahati: Every year, on August 10, the entire globe observes World Biofuel Day 2021. The day is celebrated to create awareness concerning the unconventional origins of fuels. It says that these unusual sources of fuels could serve as alternatives to fossil fuels.





    One can use biofuels since they are renewable, biodegradable, and sustainable sources of energy. Moreover, using biofuels can reduce the urge of depending upon other nations for import on crude oil.





    WHAT EXACTLY IS BIOFUEL?





    Biofuel is an energy source derived from biological matter such as farming exhaustion, vegetables, trees, or greens. It can be fabricated from any root of carbon that can be restored swiftly, like flora. These fuels are free from sulfur. Additionally, it produces moderate carbon monoxide and toxic discharges associated to regular fossil fuels.





    LET'S KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE HISTORY OF WORLD BIOFUEL DAY!





    On this day, the globe celebrates World Biofuel Day, paying tribute to the inventor of the diesel engine Sir Rudolf Diesel. In 1893, Rudolf invented the diesel engine and made it run with Peanut oil. For the first time, such an initiative was brought out to the world. 





    Rudolf's experiment foretold that green herbs oil would convert from fossil fuels to gas in the next century with various manufacturing motors. It is to remember this research and trial that the day is observed all around the world.





    THEME OF WORLD BIOFUEL DAY 2021:





    There was a virtual conference organized during early June concerning World Environment Day. During the conference, India Prime Minister Narendra Modi initiated the theme for World Biofuel Day 2021: "biofuels for a better environment."





    The proper interaction with farmers brought the idea of this year's theme. They have shared their ideas with PM Modi. Narendra Modi has listened to their experiences and techniques of using various biogas and ethanol to produce crops.





    IMPORTANCE OF WORLD BIOFUEL DAY





    On this day, government and private organizations collectively create awareness concerning the importance of non-fossil combustibles as a distinct energy resource. 





    In partnership with the Health Ministry, the Food Safety and Standard Authority of India had commenced an activity named 'Repurpose of Used Cooking Oil.' The used oil was obtained from houses and eateries and shipped to the biodiesel manufactories for compounding.





    Biofuels aid in safeguarding energy preservation by reducing the population's dependency on fossil energy sources. Energy price hikes and secondary causes of combustible are some of the hazards to energy protection. Currently, several nations are inclined to practice biofuels from local origins as fuel choices.





    HOW TO LIVE A HEALTHY LIFE USING BIOFUELS?





    1. Save your energy consumption by keeping track of power buttons. Switch off electrical appliances when not in use. This small activity will reduce the amount of carbon monoxide in the air. 
    2. Practicing compost process. Place the vegetables, leftovers and other rotten stuff in the land. This process will make your soil fertile.
    3. Avoid using chemical-based products for cleaning. Rather opt for organic material-based products.  
    4. Use organic resources as much as possible for eco-friendly environments.
    5. Avoid using plastics that are not renewable and biodegradable for nature.




    We have to take up these steps and bring a healthy change in our daily lifestyle. Being in India, you can understand cow dung as a source of substitutes for several activities. Using Biofuels are the future of continuity in this nation and all around the world.
