Biofuel (ethanol) Production From Biomass by farmerNGO: 5:16am On Jan 06, 2020 |
Biofuel is any fuel derived from biomass of plant or algae material or animal waste and is considered to be a source of renewable energy, unlike fossil fuels such as petroleum, coal, and natural gas. Examples of biofuels include: Ethanol (often made from corn and sugarcane) Biodiesel (vegetable oils and liquid animal fats), Green diesel (derived from algae and other plant sources) Biogas (methane derived from animal manure and other digested organic material). The use of food crops meant for direct human consumption is not encouraged making accepted and supported biofuel manufacture to be from non-edible sources like agricultural waste with properties of the same quality as conventional petrol and diesel. The proven prototype production technique of ethanol from sweet sorghum with accompanying diagram for visual knowledge is produced below: Stripping and cleaning of fresh stalk Pressing and extraction of juice from stalk Filtering to remove debris Fermentation for a minimum of three days with the addition of yeast Distillation to produce pure ethanol
