3. 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 beat etc.
Biomethane can be produced from waste organic
material, sewage, agriculture waste and domestic
wastes.

6. 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.

separation of juice and bagasse)
Fermentation (conversion of sugar
into alcohol, production of ethanol)

C6H12O6 2C2H5OH + 2CO2
Fermentation process requires 3 days to complete and is
carried out at a temperature of between 250°C and 300°C.

9. 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

10. Biogas is a fuel used as domestic purpose
Obtained from cow manure, fruit and
vegetable waste.
Biogas is produced by the breakdown of organic waste
by bacteria without oxygen anaerobic digestion.

12. Two Types of Anaerobic Digestion
25-38°C for 14-30 days
50-60°C for 12-14 days
Mesophilic process
