Advanced Biofuels

Second-generation biofuels to boot referred to as advanced biofuels, area unit fuels which is able to be ready-made from varied kinds of non-food biomass. Biomass throughout this context suggests that plant materials and animal waste used significantly as a provider of fuel. First-generation biofuels square measure made from the sugars and vegetable oils found in food crops exploitation customary method technologies. Second-generation biofuels unit of measurement created from entirely completely different & utterly different feedstock’s and therefore may would like different technology to extract useful energy from them. Second generation feedstock’s embrace lignocellulose biomass or woody crops, agricultural residues or waste, any as dedicated non-food energy crops grown up on marginal land unsuitable for crop production. The term second-generation biofuels is used loosely to elucidate every the 'advanced' technology accustomed technique feed stocks into biofuel, but to boot the employment of non-food crops, biomass and wastes as feed stocks in 'standard' biofuels method technologies if applicable. This causes some intensive confusion. Therefore it's a necessity to differentiate between second-generation feed stocks and second-generation biofuel method technologies.
