Calorific values of biofuels
Type of fuel Calorific value Comments
Charcoal 23 - 33 MJ/kg depending on carbon
percentage
Producer gas 3.5 – 5.5 MJ/m3
Biogas 21 – 23 MJ/ m3 @60% methane
Methane 36 MJ/ m3
Ethanol 30 MJ/kg
Methanol 23 MJ/kg

Route for fuel conversion
Route for conversion
Bio-chemical Thermo-chemical
Biological processes are
used for conversion of
biomass to fuel
Thermal energy is used
for conversion of
biomass into fuel
• Some processing of biomass is required in order to
convert it into a desired fuel
3
Bio-ethanol
production
4
Ethanol
Ethanol can be produced from biomass containing
sugar (sugar cane, molasses),
starch (corn, cassava) and
cellulose (wood, agricultural residue)
• Biomass can be converted into ethanol using aerobic
digestion
•Production of ethanol is more suitable from a sugar
containing biomass directly fermentable
•Higher size molecules (starch and cellulose) require
hydrolysis  additional step and cost

Ethanol
• Fermentation is a process of breaking of sugar and other
carbohydrates into alcohols and acids by micro-organisms
•Hydrolysis is a chemical process in which chemical compounds are
broken down by water reaction, water is added in the process

Anaerobic decomposition
• Decomposition of biomass in absence of oxygen, bacteria
called aerobes are used.
• The retention period of biomass inside a biogas chamber
varies between 20 to 50 days
• Cow dung, night soil and pig dung feedstock retention
period is 50 days, 30 days and 20 days respectively
9
Biogas production
• Hydrolysis : Complex organic matter is decomposed into
simple soluble organic molecules
• Fermentation or Acidogenesis: The chemical
decomposition of carbohydrates by enzymes, bacteria,
yeasts, or molds in the absence of oxygen.
• Acetogenesis: The fermentation products are converted
into acetate, hydrogen and carbon dioxide
• Methanogenesis: Is formed from acetate and
hydrogen/carbon dioxide by methanogenic bacteria.
• Anaerobic digestion is complex process
10
(C5H10O5)n + H2O  n(C5H12O6)
n(C5H12O6)CH3CH(OH)COOH
4H2 +CO2  2 H2O + CH4
CH3CH(OH)COOH + H2O + CO2 CH3COOH +CH4
Overall process C6H12O6 → 3CO2 + 3CH4
Processes
in
anaerobic
digestion
Reactions at
each step of
conversion
11
Biogas formation
• All three processes runs parallel and should be in equal
magnitude
• Ph values of the slurry should be 6.8 and 7.2, slightly
basic is more optimal
•Mesophilic & thermophilic digestion
