Document Summary
#by 1950 earth population had used half of accessible water in the world. Biofuels are fuels, which are made from a variety of sources of biomass: 1-to contribute to the security of energy supply. 2-to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. 3-to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. 1-bioethanol, as a substitute or additive for gasoline (liquid fuel that has the least contribution to the greenhouse e ect). Ethanol is mainly produced from fermentation of corn (corn alcohol). An economy based on biotechnology that uses renewable raw materials to produce products and energy. Biomass is solar energy stored in organic matter. Carbohydrates are the organic compounds that make up biomass and photosynthesis uses energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates (sugars, starches and cellulose). Ethanol used as a gasoline volume extender and octane booster. Iogen corporation is a canadian-based leading industrial biotechnology company specializing in cellulose-based enzymes.
