Abstract
Production of biofuels is the unique way to reduce environmental impact and crude oil pollution. Biofuels can be used as fuel with considerable features like high heat of vaporization and low cetane number and octane number. Their major weaknesses are lower vapor pressure, corrosiveness, water miscibility, low flame luminosity, and environmental toxicity. The availability of raw materials is the critical problem in biofuels, and depending upon the geographic locations, the availability of feedstocks can differ season to season. Agricultural residues, forestry residues, and municipal waste are lignocellulosic biomass, which is well-known feedstock for bioethanol reason of its low cost and high availability, although the marketable production has still not been recognized. Additionally, the supply and the considerable use of microbes make the biofuel production process highly uncharacteristic. Different methods for biomass-based biofuel production and renovation technologies are under improvement and expected to be established. In this chapter, we will discuss about the lignocellulosic, different biomass, and different process of efficient biofuel production.
