Document Summary

1st generation: bioethanol; biogas; coalbed methane, most developed syngas fermentation. 4th generation: synthetic biology and designer fuels future: Integrated biorefineries (the concept) e. g. , 1,3-butanediol instead of using petrochemical. A link to bioenergy (e-book) has been posted on moodle (not assigned) Ch4$ ultimate fuel, b/c wont make co2 product. Examples of microbial biofuels dont need to know structures. 1 l y g o o n h c e o. M i biodiesel and longer-chain alkanes instead of classifying them by first or second generation, should classify them by their chemical. 1st generation biofuels making a fuel, typically from a crop that is a feed crop, food like ethanol from plant starch, biodiesel from plants, animal fats. Not necessarily microbial: fuels derived from food crops, for example: Ethanol fermented from plant starch or sugars. Biodiesel (non-microbial) from plant oils or animal fats: fuels derived from transformation of biomass.
