 Classification of Biofuels
 Manufacturing Process of Biofuels
 Advantages and Disadvantages of Biofuel
• Biofuel is the fuel which is produced from organic
products and wastes.
• The common commercially used biofuels are
bioethanol, biodiesel and biomethane.
• Bioethanol is made from sugar, algae, wheat and
sugar beet
• Biodiesel is made from vegetable oil, algal lipids,
animal fats
• Biomethane can be produced from waste organic
material, sewage, agriculture waste and domestic
wastes.
History
• In 1890s Rudolf Diesel was a first person who made biodiesel from
vegetable oil.
• In 1970s and 1980s environmental protection agency EPA situated in
America suggested that fuel should be free from sulphur dioxide,
carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides.
• In 1998 EPA allowed the production of biofuel on commercial level
which was the alternative source of the petrol.
• In 2010 the production of biofuels reaches up to 105 billion liters
worldwide.
• In 2011, European countries were the largest that made biodiesel
almost about 53%. The international Energy Agency set a goal to
reduce the usage of petroleum and coal and will be switched on to
biofuels till 2050.

Classification of Biofuels
 Also called conventional biofuels. It includes sugar, starch, or
vegetable oil
 known as advanced biofuels and can be manufactured from
different types of biomass. The biomass contains lignocellulosic
material like wood, straw and waste plastic
 Extract from algae mostly marine algae
Advantages of Biofuels over Fossil Fuels
• Lower emissions Green gas
• Renewable
• Biodegradable
• Safer

Bioethanol
 Bioethanol is produced by the fermentation of
carbohydrate rich source which includes sugar
cane, sugar beet, corn etc
 It is colorless and clear liquid
 One of the widely used alternative automotive
fuel in the world

Ad-Disadvantages of Bioethanol
Advantages Disadvantages
Ethanol is a renewable resource Large amounts leading to problems
such as soil erosion, deforestation.
Ethanol burns more cleanly in air than
petroleum
Typical current engines would require
modification
The use of ethanol reduce carbon
dioxide emissions
Expensive
Biodiesel
• Biodiesel, an alternative diesel fuel, is made from re-
new able biological sources such as vegetable oils
and animal fats.
• Similar to petroleum diesel fuel in structure (straight
chain) and number of carbon atoms (10 to 21)
• The Biodiesel can be prepared by Transesterification.

Advantages-Disadvantages of Biodiesel
ADVANTAGE DISADVANTAGE
Can be used pure biodiesel B100. Biodiesel is significantly more
expensive compared to standard
diesel
Biodiesel has shorter ignition delay
compared to standard diesel
Biodiesel can release nitrogen oxide
which can lead to the formation of
smog.
Biodiesel has no sulfur content, and so
it doesn't contribute to acid rain
formation
Pure biodiesel has significant
problems with low temperatures
Biodiesel has good lubricating
properties better than standard diesel
Food Shortage can be occurred

Gas %
Methane 50–75
Carbon dioxide 25–50
Nitrogen 0–10

• Produced from Anaerobic digestion in Anaerobic
Digesters (AD)
Biogas Plant

digester- creates
anaerobic condition

Editor's Notes

  • #30 The biogas plant has two main parts: A Digester (or fermentation tank) The digester is a cube-shaped or cylindrical waterproof container with an inlet into which the fermentable mixture is introduced in the form of a liquid slurry. The digester is provided with an overflow pipe to lead the sludge out into a drainage pit. A Gas holder The gas holder is normally an airproof steel container that, by floating like a ball on the fermentation mix, cuts off air to the digester (anaerobiosis) and collects the gas generated. The gas holder is equipped with a gas outlet. While the digester is provided with an overflow pipe to lead the sludge out into a drainage pit. Digester reactors are constructed from brick, cement, concrete, and steel.
