= What is a biofuel? =

Biofuels are liquid or gaseous fuels produced from biomass that are generally high in sugar (such as sugarcane , sugarbeet , sweet sorghum) , starch (such as corn and cassava) or oils (such as soybeans, rapeseed, coconut, sunflowers, and palms).Unknown Object The two most commonly used biofuels are ethanol and biodiesel.

= What are the types of Biofuel? =

Generally biofuels are divided into three categories. They are First generation biofuel , Second generation biofuel and Third generation biofuel.

 

First-generation biofuels are made from sugar, starch, vegetable oil, or animal fats using conventional technology.

Second-generation biofuels are produced from non-food crops, such as cellulosic biofuels and waste biomass (stalks of wheat and corn, and wood).

Third-generation biofuels are produced from extracting oil of algae – sometimes referred to as “oilgae”. 

 

= What are the uses of Biofuel? =

Biofuels can be used for various purposes ranging from cooking to biofuel in vehicles. However, recently they are most prominently used as fuels for vehicles.

= What is Bioethanol? =

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH)is an alcohol fuel made from the sugars found in grains such as corn sorghum, barley and in plant products such as potato skins, rice, sugar cane, sugar beets , yard clippings , bark and switchgrass.Ethanol is used in special engine by mixing with petrol and is called Gasohol (70-90% petrol and 10-30% ethanol). Currently, a blend of 10% ethanol and 90% gasoline called E10 is approved for use in all vehile. E10 was previously called Gasohol.

= What is Biodiesel? =

Biodiesel is made by combining alcohol (usually methanol) with vegetable oil, animal fat, or recycled cooking grease. It is a nontoxic and biodegradable energy source that produces lower levels of air pollutants. Most often it is blended with petroleum diesel in ratios of 2% (B2), 5% (B5),20% (B20) or as pure biodiesel (B100).

= What is Vegetable Oil? =

Vegeteable oil can be used as fuel for diesel engines, either as straight vegetable oil (SVO''')''' or as biodiesel (after chemical conversion). The market of plant oils is dominated by a few crops, notably oil palm (35 %), soybean (27 %), rapeseed (16 %) and sunﬂower (9 %)
