Bioenergy is the Future: Biofuels as a Replacement for Petroleum-Based Products

The emission of Greenhouses Gases (GHG) has developed adverse effects on the environment. The U.S Energy Information Administration (EIA) (2020) discloses that increasing GHG concentrations in the atmosphere facilitates global warming by increasing the average temperature on earth. High temperature further affects precipitation patterns, sea level, and storm severity, which facilitates climate change. EIA statistics identify that global warming has constantly been rising relative to increasing GHG concentrations, which pose a challenge of adverse weather effects related to global warming. Among the key contributors to GHG gases include emissions from petroleum-engine-based vehicles, which generate a high concentration of CO2 into the atmosphere. However, the environment can be secured through the use of fuels whose products have a limited impact on the environment.             Do you know that plants can be the solution to the environm...

Wood Products

 Forestry Blog: Unit 3 Most people admire the beauty developed by structures created using timber and other wood products. However, people rarely think of the wood source or the wood by-products that were used to make the appealing structure or products. Based on this deficit, I would like to develop insight on how wood by-products are generated and how they are selected for various uses. Wood products are generated from trees that are grown in plantations or forests. Thus, one has to harvest the trees upon which they can be converted to useful products. The harvesting process can be developed in three ways; section harvesting, shelterwood harvest, and clear-cut harvest (Cook, 2014). Under selection harvesting, people harvest small portions of forests over a long period while clear-cutting oversee the harvest of the entire forest. Sheltered harvest entails the removal of mature trees while retaining the immature trees. After harvesting, the acquired logs are transported to a sawmil...
