Abstract:
Biofuels (biodiesel and bioethanol) produced from various biobased sources have recently attracted a lot of attention because of their potential to reduce net carbon dioxide emissions while lowering the growing reliance of the globe on fossil fuels. The goal might be to provide biomass-based alternative fuel that is both readily available and economically viable in order to meet both national goals for biofuel blending and the energy deficit. Currently, maize, sugarcane, molasses, wheat, and other grains crops, cassava, sugar beets, palm, soybean, rapeseed, etc. are used for biofuel production. Recent consideration has been given to lignocellulosic biomass as another potential feedstock because of its non-food competition and abundant supply. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used to ferment the sugars found in sugar cane and sugar beets as well as those obtained from the starch in corn and other cereals in order to economically produce ethanol from a range of feedstocks. The additional bio-resources, in addition to cellulosic biomass being the ideal substitute for producing bioethanol and non-edible oil containing biomaterials for producing biodiesel for vehicle traffic, might make the energy sector sustainable. The production of biofuels from energy crops is essential to the growth of the global economy and the slowing of climate change. The CO2 released during the combustion of biomass is absorbed by plants to grow. Because the quantity of CO2 emitted during usage has already been fixed during plant growth, no net CO2 is produced when agricultural biomass is used to generate energy.
