Turning Plants into BioFuel
Jeff Giaquinto & Ben Perrella
What is the process of turning plants into BioFuel?
This is the process by which scientists use Biomass cellulose, roots, and leaves to create fuel using a very in depth process.
-Biomass with sugars and water is conveyed over a “nickel-tin catalyst” and is cleaned out of its hydrogen atoms-Stream is then cleaned out of its water by being treated with acids
-Then the formed liquid is conveyed over a “solid base catalyst” and forms it to cause long carbon chains, called alkanes .
-Then this newly formed liquid is then ran through a “plantinum-silca-alumina catalyst” at high temperatures
How is it currently being used?
BioFuel is a main source of gas. It is used in cars and can be used for anything requiring some sort of fuel, like heat .
BioFuel Farms
Plots of land have been dedicated to growing BioMass solely for the use of making BioFuel
Algae into BioFuel
Algae could be a main source of creating Biofuel. Due to the fact that there is so much of it, it will produce a ton of Biofuel
