Abstract
The problem of energy saving while reducing environmental pollution forces not only to look for ways of more rational use of traditional energy resources but also to find other preferably renewable and inexpensive sources of energy. The reserves of fossil fuels are not unlimited and therefore one of mankind tasks is to find new energy renewable sources to meet the growing needs of modern society and future generations. Particular interest in this regard is plant biomass. This review presents the results of studies of the practical application of plant biomass for biofuel production. Production of bioethanol from plant raw materials (in particular molasses - the waste of sugar production), the use of traditional and non-traditional oilseeds for biofuel production are considered. The most promising approach for the conversion biomass based on the dehydration of carbohydrates into furan derivatives is presented also.
