The first negative thing about alternative fuels such as biodiesel and biomass is the need of a large initial investment, which could be a problem for the expansion of the technology to poorer countries or regions. Therefore, there is a big need for state subsidies, but as we know, they aren’t inexhaustible and infinite. There is also a big risk that the resulting income will be much lower than the expected income due to changing market prices over time. As our guide mentioned, there is also a problem with sufficient capacity in the region needed to grow rapeseed, therefore we don’t understand why the photovoltaic panels have been built mainly on the (arable?) ground. We think that the company should, for example, try to use available space on roofs to reduce the built-on area. Also, the resources needed for the production of biodiesel are more and more limited, which leads to growth in prices of the resources and which naturally also leads to growth in the price of biodiesel. This process then disadvantages smaller manufacturers. We could of course find many other controversial aspects. | The first negative thing about alternative fuels such as biodiesel and biomass is the need of a large initial investment, which could be a problem for the expansion of the technology to poorer countries or regions.
