Biofuels are made from renewable energy sources, such as biomass from plants and algae and can also be produced from waste fat and oil. These alternative energy sources have the potential to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and provide economic benefits.
However, many of these sources cannot replace liquid fuels, such as jet fuel and diesel fuel, which are essential for our transportation needs yet biofuels can provide a solution to this problem.
There are a number of processes that convert biomass into biofuels. These processes include the production of biogas, the production of liquid biofuels such as biodiesel, ethanol, and methanol, and the production of solid biofuels, such as wood, which can be burned to create heat.
The process of converting biomass to biofuels depends on the biomass type (e.g., manure, oilseed crops, etc.) and how it is used. Biomass is becoming more and more sought after as an alternative to fossil fuels such as gas and coal.
Efforts to shift dependency away from fossil fuels towards cleaner, more sustainable energy sources have never been more pressing. The rise of global warming and industrialisation means that we all need to do our part to reduce our carbon emissions and reduce our carbon debt resulting from the inevitable carbon cycle.
Global Energy, in collaboration with its industry partners who are pioneers in the provision and management of biofuel plants, can deliver to its customers turnkey solutions, custom-built biofuel integrated suite of services, equipment and technologies required for successful design, build, commissioning and operations of such plants.
