Before anybody goes into the in-depth study of liquid bio fuels, one has to take into view the natural products from which these fuels can be made. These fuels are going to take up the stored energy matter or the dry organic material, which is present in living organisms. One can make it liquid bio fuels by extracting the combustible oils or fermenting the product into a combustible alcoholic base. You can use either fossils or non fossils for getting liquid bio fuels. The natural products and organic material from which liquid bio fuels can be obtained are given below.
Agricultural wastes like animals, manure, straw, corn stalks, sugarcane husks, woody waste like sawdust, timber, wood scrapings and filings and waste material from wooden mills are important sources of liquid bio fuels. You can get oil from cotton and other crop plants. So by using processes like fermentation, pyrolysis and gasification, solid material is being turned into liquid bio fuels. Ethanol is being made into fuel for automotives by turning starch into ethanol by glycolysis and hydrolysis.
There are other very important liquid bio fuels, out of which some have been obtained from fossils. These are petroleum products, and are one of the most necessary products, which keep modern industry moving. Scientists are trying to look for other sources of liquid bio fuels in the shape of ethanol, as a substitute for diesel and petrol, but the petroleum industry is still going strong, and shall do so for the next decade or so.
