On Checking the Rising Global Food Prices Due to Bio-Fuels Using Solar Energy
2009
Sharan, Anand M.
This paper deals with the pressing current global problem of the sudden price rise in food grains all over the world which is unprecedented. This has mainly arisen from use of food crops such as corn, sugar cane etc as bio-fuels. This paper suggests use of solar energy which is not only widely abundant, it also does not cause global warming, a harmful effect due to the combustion of fuels whether bio-fuels or fossil. This paper also suggests use of other forms of vehicles which are far more economical to use. In addition, this paper shows results of an efficient process of conversion of solar energy into useful forms; this process is the solar tracking process. If used world wide, one would obtain about 36% more energy whose cost is touching the sky these days.
