A biofuel is a fuel that is produced through contemporary biological processes, such as agriculture and anaerobic digestion, rather than a fuel produced by geological processes such as those involved in the formation of fossil fuels, such as coal and petroleum, from prehistoric biological matter. Biofuels can be derived directly from plants, or indirectly from agricultural, commercial, domestic, and/or industrial wastes. Renewable biofuels generally involve contemporary carbon fixation, such as those that occur in plants or microalgae through the process of photosynthesis. Other renewable biofuels are made through the use or conversion of biomass. This biomass can be converted to convenient energy containing substances in three different ways,
1. Thermal conversion
2. Chemical conversion
3. Biochemical conversion
This biomass conversion can result in fuel in solid, liquid, or gas form. This new biomass can also be used directly for biofuels.
