Biofuel Production from Agricultural Waste—An Economical Approach

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Alternative Fuels and Their Utilization Strategies in Internal Combustion Engines

Part of the book series: Energy, Environment, and Sustainability ((ENENSU))

Abstract

Biofuel is an important solution to the fuel crisis which may affect the future generation. Also production of biofuel will greatly reduce the need and dependency of fossil fuels. It also can greatly reduce the environmental pollution. Different types of biofuels include bioethanol, biodiesel, biogas and biobutanol. Biodiesel is a very good replacement fuel for petroleum and also produce less toxins and a biodegradable one. Thus bioethanol is a clean gas produced through fermentation technology. High energy biofuel, biobutanol can also be produced by the fermentation of agricultural residues. All these energy rich high value fuels can be produced from agricultural wastes, which are getting wasted as such in the nature. The current chapter mainly deals with different ways in which biofuels can be produced using agricultural waste thereby making entire process cost effective and economical. This can make every country independent for biofuel production making the nature stable for future generation.
