The Biofuel Problem 

The rising challenge of finding suitable and efficient fuel sources for the world is a problem that humanity faces. Unfortunately, many of the solutions to this obstacle generate issues of their own and do not combat the existing usage of petroleum based combustion. Biofuels have the potential to be an everlasting solution. The most wisely accepted biofuel for internal combustion engines is ethanol. Ethanol however combustible and available in mass quantities, not only require special engineering to be the sole fuel source but also relies on corn for production.  Corn as a GMO has been looked at to aid the food crisis in dozens of nations across the globe. In order solve both issues at hand a biofuel to replace traditional petroleum products must be able to be synthesized without impacting agriculture products. 
​
N-Propyl Alcohol or Propanol has the ability to fulfill the criteria of reducing the carbon foot print of internal combustion and when synthesized correctly it will not rely on consumable grains that can be utilized for food.
