    Biofuels are liquid fuels developed from plants or waste that can be classified into three generations. Common biofuels include bioethanol, biodiesel, and biogas. Bioethanol is produced through fermentation of carbohydrates by yeast and used as fuel. Biodiesel is made through transesterification of vegetable oils or animal fats and also used as fuel. Biogas is produced from breakdown of organic waste by microbes and used for cooking and electricity. While biofuels are renewable and reduce pollution, high production costs and potential industrial pollution are disadvantages.

    WHAT IS BIOFUEL

    • Biofuels are liquid fuels that have been


    developed from other materials such as
    plants or animal waste matter.
    CLASSIFIATION OF BIOFUELS
    1st Generation Biofuels
    Also called conventional biofuels . It includes sugar, starch, or vegetable oil.

    2nd Generation Biofuels


    Known as advanced biofuels and can be manufactured from different biomass.

    3rd Generation Biofuels


    Extract from algae mostly marine algae.
    COMMON TYPES OF BIOFUELS
    BIOETHANOL
     Bioethanol is produced by the fermentation of carbohydrate
    rich source which includes sugarcane, sugar beet, corn etc.
     Bioethanol fermentation is mostly carried out by yeast (e.g.
    Saccharomyces cerevisiae)
     It is colorless and clear liquid.
     Much more environmental friendly and low toxic.
    BIOETHANOL FERMENTATION
    PATHWAY
    APPLICATION OF BIOETHANOL

    • Fuel for power generation by thermal


    combustion.
    • Fuels in cogeneration system.
    • Feedstock in the chemical industry.
    ADVANTAGES AND
    DISADVANTAGE OF
    BIOETHANOL Disadvantages
    Advantages
    Ethanol is renewable Large amounts leading to problems
    such as soil erosion, deforestation.
    resource.
    Difficulty in transportation .
    Reduces greenhouse gases. During production of bioethanol ,
    Decrease in ozone huge amount of carbon dioxide is
    formation. released .
    BIODIESEL
    Biodiesel ,is an alternative diesel fuel , is made
    from renewable biological sources such as
    vegetable oils & animal fats .
    The biodiesel can be prepared by transesterification
    .
    BIODIESEL PRODUCTION
    APPLICATION OF BIODIESEL
    As a heating oil .
    Biodiesel in generators .
    Vehicles .
    Cleaning oil spills .
    ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
    OF BIODIESEL
    Advantages Disadvantages
    Biodiesel is environmentally Biodiesel is significantly more
    friendly . expensive compared to
    It can be used in almost any standard diesel.
    diesel with little or no engine Slightly decreases fuel
    modification . economy.
    Less global warming. Biodiesel behaves as solvent.
    BIOGAS
    Biogas is a fuel used as domestic purpose.
    Obtained from cow manure , fruit and vegetable
    waste.
    Biogas is the mixture of gases produced by the
    breakdown of organic matter in the absence of
    oxygen.
    BIOGAS PRODUCTION PATHWAY
    ADVANTAGES BIOGAS
     Reduce air and water pollution .
     More environmental friendly fertilizers .
     Reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
     Reduces time wastage while collecting firewood.
     Reduces pollution.
    APPLICATIONS OF BIOGAS
    It can be used for cooking purpose and other
    domestic heating purpose .
    Used in a gas engine to convert the energy in the
    gas into electricity and heat.
    Also used for street lighting.
    ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF
    BIO FUEL
    Advantages Disadvantages

     Renewable • High Cost of Production


     Reduce Greenhouse • Industrial Pollution
    Gases • Future Rise in Price
     Lower level of Pollution
    CONCLUSION
    Biofuels can be defined as solid , liquid or gas fuel
    derived from recently dead biological material
    which differ it from fossil fuels that derived from
    long dead biological material .
    Biofuels production & consumption will contribute
    in solving the global warming .
