Interesting Energy & Alternative Energy Resources - Advertisement
Biofuel Reference
Classes of Biofuels Solid Biofuels There are many forms of solid biomass that are combustible as a fuel such as:
· Wood · Straw and other dried plants · Animal waste such as poultry droppings or cattle dung · Crops such as maize, rice, soybean, peanut and cotton (usually just the husks or shells) & sugarcane- or agave-derived bagasse.
There are also a number of liquid forms of biomass that can be used as a fuel:
· Bioalcohols · Ethanol – usually produced from sugarcane, also from corn · Methanol, which is currently produced from natural gas, can also be produced from biomass. The methanol economy is an interesting alternative to the hydrogen economy · Butanol, formed by A.B.E. fermentation (Acetone, Butanol Ethanol) and experimental modifications of the ABE process show potentially high net energy gains. Butanol can be burned "straight" in existing gasoline engines (without modification to the engine or car), produces more energy and is less corrosive and less water soluble than ethanol, and can be distributed via existing infrastructures.
· Biologically produced oils (bio-oils) can be used in diesel engines · Straight vegetable oil (SVO) · Waste vegetable oil (WVO) · Biodiesel obtained from transesterification of animal fats and vegetable oil, directly usable in petroleum diesel engines · Oils produced from various wastes · Thermal depolymerization from waste materials can extract methane and oil similar to petroleum · Methane and oils are being extracted from landfill wells and leachate in test sites
Gaseous Biofuels
· Bio-methane produced by the natural decay of garbage or agricultural manure can be collected for use as fuel
· Wood gas can be extracted from wood and used in petrol engines. · Hydrogen can be produced in water electrolysis or, less ecologically, by cracking any hydrocarbon fuel in a reformer, some fermentation processes also produce hydrogen, such as A.B.E. fermentation · Gasification, that produces carbon monoxide.
