Biofuels 101There are many types of biofuels
Biofuels = Fuels derived from a biological source
Starch, sugar-derived ethanol (transportation sector)
“biodiesel”/oils/hydrocarbons (soybean & plant oils, algal farms, etc)
Wood or pelletized biomass (heat, energy grid, syngas, etc)
Anaerobic digestors (methane)
Renewable waste (methane, hydrogen, electricity)
Cellulose-derived fuels (Great Lakes Bioenergy); “tomorrow’s sustainable biofuels
Cellulose= non-edible part of plant material US generates ~1.3 billion tons of cellulosic biomass yearly; if converted into liquid transportation fuel it could reduce fossil fuel use by ~30% [mandated by US renewable fuels standard]
