This document discusses alternative fuels, biomass, and bioenergy. It notes that alternative fuels like biogas, methanol and ethanol are renewable. Biomass does not cause greenhouse effects because it is derived from biological sources. Bioenergy is also renewable energy from biological materials. Methanol and ethanol are alcohol-based fuels derived from natural gas through a process called esterification. Biodiesel provides benefits like reduced emissions and engine wear while being safer to handle and store, as it is made from renewable and reusable waste products.

1. BIOMASS, ALTERNATIVE
FUELS and BIOENERGY
 PAULA PERIS

2. ALTERNATIVE FUELS
 The alternative fuels are renewable.
 Examples: biogas, methanol, ethanol.

3. BIOMASS
The biomass does
not affect the
atmosphere because
it doesn’t cause
greenhouse effect.

4. BIOENERGY
 Bioenergy is
renewable energy
made available from
materials derived
from biological
sources.

5. ETHANOL & METHANOL
 Methanol and
ethanol are
another alcohol-
based fuel, which
are derived from
natural gas.
 The base oil is put
through a process
called
“esterificiation”.

6. BIODIESEL
Other benefits include:
 Reduce carbon monoxide, particulate
matter and hydrocarbon emissions.
 Reduces engine wear and noise.
 The safest fuel to handle and store .
 It is a renewable resource.
 Reuses waste products from the food
service industry.
