Recent modified uses of Biomass :
Unlike other renewable energy sources, biomass can be converted directly into liquid fuels for our transportation needs.
1. The two most common biomass fuels are ethanol and biodiesel.
2. Ethanol, an alcohol, is made by fermenting any biomass high in carbohydrates, like corn, through a process similar to brewing beer.
3.It is mostly used as a fuel additive to cut down a vehicle's carbon monoxide and other smog-causing emissions.
4. Biodiesel, an ester, is made using vegetable oils, animal fats, algae, or even recycled cooking greases. 5.It can be used as a diesel additive to reduce vehicle emissions or in its pure form to fuel a vehicle. 6.Heat can be used to chemically convert biomass into a fuel oil, which can be burned like petroleum to generate electricity. 7.Biomass can also be burned directly to produce steam for electricity production or manufacturing processes.
