Bioenergy, Green Energy. Biomass and Biofuels.

Modern bioenergy is commercial energy production from biomass for industry, power generation, or transport fuels. Bioenergy is an inclusive term for all forms of biomass and biofuels. Green energy is an alternate term for renewable energy that is the energy generated from sources that are considered environmentally friendly. The term biofuel is referred to as liquid or gaseous fuels for the transport sector that are predominantly produced from biomass. Bioethanol is a petrol additive/substitute. It is possible that wood, straw, and even household wastes may be economically converted to bioethanol. Bioethanol is derived from alcoholic fermentation of sucrose or simple sugars, which are produced from biomass by hydrolysis process. Biodiesel is an environmentally friendly alternative liquid fuel that can be used in any diesel engine without modification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
