Russia Biofuels Market Potential report ( http://www.bharatbook.com/Market-Research-Reports/Russia-Biofuels-Market-Potential.html ) provides comprehensive coverage of Russia’s ethanol and biodiesel market. Biofuel is any fuel that is derived from biomass – recently living organisms or their metabolic byproducts, such as manure from cows. It is a renewable energy source, unlike other natural resources such as petroleum, coal, and nuclear fuels.

Ethanol is manufactured from microbial conversion of biomass materials through fermentation. Ethanol contains 35% oxygen. The production process consists of conversion of biomass to fermentable sugars, fermentation of sugars to ethanol, and the separation and purification of the ethanol. Fermentation initially produces ethanol containing a substantial amount of water.

Distillation removes the majority of water to yield about 95% purity ethanol, the balance being water. This mixture is called hydrous ethanol. If the remaining water is removed in a further process, the ethanol is called anhydrous ethanol and is suitable for blending into gasoline. Ethanol is “denatured” prior to leaving the plant to make it unfit for human consumption by addition of a small amount of products such as gasoline.

Dre asked:


I am wondering if it is practical to make a biofule and then use it as a fule source for a backup generator. How often would i have to re-make the biofuel in order to ensure it will work when i need it most? Please list your source.

Mr G asked:


My question is this: Can I add vegetable oil to my oil tank? If so, what kind? I am paying $3.69/gallon now and would like to supplement with a biofuel that I can get less expensively.
