Bio-butanol is a type of alcohol produced through the fermentation of sugars, starches, or cellulose, and it is an alternative to gasoline.

Bio-butanol Production (ABE acetone–butanol–ethanol Fermentation):

This is a similar process to ethanol production, but the fermentation produces butanol instead of ethanol, which has a higher energy content and can be used as a substitute for gasoline.

C ₆H ₁₂O ₆ → 1CH ₄H ₉OH+ 1C ₃H ₆O + 1C ₃H ₆OH + 2CO ₂+ H ₂

Use in Green Energy:

• High-Energy Density Fuel: Biobutanol has a higher energy density than bioethanol and can be used in existing internal combustion engines without modification, making it a versatile fuel option.
• Blending with Gasoline: Like bioethanol, biobutanol can be blended with gasoline, but it has better compatibility with water and higher ethanol concentrations, making it a potential option for higher blend levels.
• Cleaner Combustion: It burns cleaner than gasoline, emitting fewer harmful pollutants and contributing to air quality improvement.
