Abstract

Global warming alerts and threats are on the rise due to the utilization of fossil fuels. Alternative fuel sources like bioethanol and biodiesel are being produced to combat these threats. Bioethanol can be produced from a range of substrates. Cellulose-rich substances like cotton waste which is generated in millions of tons around the globe can be used for the production of biofuels. Biodiesel is a long chain mono-alkyl-ester fatty acid derived from renewable feedstock, plant biomass, cellulosic materials, vegetable oils, animal fats, etc. Biodiesel can be mixed with petrol and the mixture can be used as a fuel for internal combustion engines. Figure 1 is an illustration of the main steps involved in turning biomass into biodiesel.
