✅Biofuels: an opportunity for India
Bio fuel
•✅ Bio-fuels are a source of energy derived from the conversion of carbon-fixing biomass
through thermal, chemical or biochemical processes.
✅• Their popularity arises from the fact that they are cheaper and less environmentally
polluting than fossil fuels.
✅• 1st generation bio fuel- Directly using the food crops like wheat and sugar for making
ethanol and oil seeds for bio diesel by conventional method of fermentation. These fuels
emitted more greenhouse gases.
✅• 2nd generation bio fuel- Non-food crops and feedstock instead of food crops. Example:
Wood, grass, seed crops, organic waste etc.
✅ • 3rd generation bio fuel- Use specially engineered Algae whose biomass is used to convert
into biofuels. The greenhouse gas emission here will be low in comparison to others.
✅4th generation bio fuel- are aimed at not only producing sustainable energy but also a way of
capturing and storing co2.
Topic- GS-3- Infrastructure: Energy, Ports, Roads, Airports, Railways etc.
