2.1.4 Advantages and Disadvantages of the Most Common Types of Biofuels Biofuels refer to a form of bioenergy derived from biological plant or animal matter, “biomass” (Earley & McKeown, 2009). A few examples of biofuels include: biodiesel, corn based ethanol, cellulosic ethanol, bio-butanol, biogas etc (Earley & McKeown, 2009). Ethanol is by far the most significant biofuel in the US making up 94% of biofuel production ("Biobutanol," 2015). The remaining 6% of biofuels mostly consists of biodiesel ("Biobutanol," 2015). Although the biofuel industry has grown tremendously throughout the past decade, there is still room for improvement. The disadvantages to using ethanol include increased food prices, large releases of carbon through land clearing, crop growth for food vs fuel, and stress on agricultural sectors that rely on corn for feedstocks (Earley & McKeown, 2009). Nearly all studies on biofuels found minimal reductions in greenhouse gas emissions using corn ethanol over gasoline (Earley & McKeown, 2009). In order for the use and sustainability of biofuels to increase in the future, it is necessary to move towards advanced biofuels (Earley & McKeown, 2009). Advanced biofuels come from non-food feedstocks and offer improved energy and greenhouse gas profiles over conventional biofuels (Earley & McKeown, 2009). 2.1.5 A Comparison of Butanol and Ethanol While ethanol is today’s most common biofuel there are many other possibilities, one of which is butanol ("Carbon cycle 2.0," ND). In Figure 2.2 you can find a chart comparing the fuel properties of gasoline, ethanol and butanol ("Energy Explained," 2015). Figure 2.2: Gasoline, ethanol and n-butanol fuel properties Among the fuel properties listed in the table above, two properties of ethanol are superior to both gasoline and butanol. Oxygen content is the first property listed in Figure 2.2. It is believed that a greater amount of oxygen in fuel allows for more complete 14PDF Image | Extraction of Bio-Butanol using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
