Biomass-Utilization and Conversion

Biomass is fuel that is mainly obtained from the plants, algae ...etc., as plants uses sunlight for the preparation of their food material. It mainly consists of cellulose and lignin in which carbon, hydrogen and oxygen as its main constituent elements. Biomass is converted into biofuels .these biofuels can be used as fuels in vehicles instead of fossil fuels like coal and petrol and these fuels can be renewable and recycled. Example bioethanol is an alcohol made by fermentation, mostly from carbohydrates, mostly from carbohydrates produced in sugar or starch crops such as corn, sugarcane. or sweet sorghum. Biodiesel can be used as a fuel for vehicles in its pure form, but it is usually used as a diesel additive to reduce levels of particulates, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons from diesel-powered vehicles. Thus biomass can be converted or utilized in the form of biofuels, bio pesticides... etc., which are renewable rather than utilizing non-renewable resources and pollution free agents.
