Bioalcohols are simply alcohols derived from biomass or biological resources. The most well-known and widely produced bio alcohol is bioethanol which is considered a primary substitute fuel for spark ignition engines. Bioalcohols are commonly produced from a variety of biomass sources, such as grains, food waste, residues, and lignocellulosic crops. Bio alcohols are typically identified as first generation and second generation.
The first generation of bio alcohols is made from crops whereas, second generation bio alcohols are made from lignocellulosic biomass, such as forestry or agricultural waste.
Bio-alcohol is a bio-energy substitute that may also be used in energy-related applications such as power generation. Its applications in trucks, buses, airplanes, and fuel cells are currently driving its demand. Bio-alcohol can be blended with petroleum products in the replacement of hydrocarbons, which will help extend petroleum supplies and improve global fuel security. Bio-alcohol is also driving growth by its biodegradability and lower toxicity than fossil fuels.
