Production of Biofuel Using the Crops
Author(s): Hazel Scarlett*
Biofuels are defined as liquid, gaseous, and solid fuels that are mostly produced from biomass. Biofuels are used for a variety of reasons, such as energy security, environmental protection, currency savings, and socioeconomic challenges specific to rural areas. Vegetable oils, biodiesel, biogas, biosynthetic gas, bioethanol, bio methanol, biodiesel, bio oil, bio char, and bio hydrogen are all examples of biofuels. The majority of conventional biofuels, such as ethanol from maize, wheat, or sugar beets and biodiesel from oil seeds, are made from well known agricultural food crops that require high quality agricultural land to cultivate. An alternative or supplement for gasoline is bioethanol. Utilizing bio syngas derived from the steam reforming of biomass, bioethanol may be created from biomass. The recovery of bio methanol is much simpler than that of bioethanol from biomass. It is .. View More»
