Biomass to Biofuel Conversion is the most promising option in today’s world. For instance, Biomass means any Agricultural waste like Trees, Fronds, Grass, Garden waste, etc. Most importantly, the use of biomass to biofuel technology reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Consequently, it also helps in ecological balance. In many cases, this results in significant Employment Generation.

There are various biomass conversion technologies available. The biomass conversion process uses energy directly. Depending on usage, the respective biomass conversion technology applied.
Biomass to Biofuel Conversion Technology
- Thermal Conversion
- Chemical Conversion
Thermal Conversion
Heat plays an important role in Biomass thermal conversion to other forms. Thermal conversion further divided as
- Combustion
- Gasification
- Pyrolysis
Till today most biomass conversion technology consists of the combustion of biomass. But the combustion process has low efficiency. It even has a Health and environmental concerns.
Biomass Gasification means heating biomass at high temperatures with a controlled amount of Oxygen. The biomass gasification technology has some advantages. It uses more efficient syngas than direct combustion of the original fuel. The resulting syngas either use for power production or for fuels. Biomass to BioFuel conversion technology uses Biomass for the methane process.
Biomass Pyrolysis involves heating biomass at high temperatures without oxygen. It produces Bio-Oil, Biochar, and Syngas. Learn more about Biomass to Bio Oil by Fast Pyrolysis Method.
Application of Thermal Conversion: Heat, Electricity, Combined Heat and Power, Transport Fuel
Chemical Conversion
A range of chemical processes used for Biomass to BioFuel Conversion. The produced fuel will be easy to store and transport. Chemical interactions are needed to convert biomass into liquid fuel.
Biomass Biochemical Conversion
This involves the use of enzymes, bacteria and micro-organisms to break down biomass. The various processes are
- Anaerobic Digestion:
Also known as biomass to methane. Mesophilic digestion and thermophilic digestion are two types of anaerobic digestion. - Fermentation:
Fermentation is a process used for producing ethanol from starch. It is widely used in Alcohol manufacturing. Further distillation can offer transportation fuel. - Composting:
Biomass Composting also called aerobic decomposition of dry organic matter by micro-organisms. It usually uses for heat production.
Application of Bio Chemical Conversion: Alcohols, Ethanol, Fertilisers, Methane
