Biocombustíveis
Biocombustíveis are fuels derived from biomass, which is organic matter from plants and animals. They are considered renewable energy sources because the biomass used to produce them can be replenished through agriculture and other biological processes. The most common types of biocombustibles are ethanol and biodiesel. Ethanol is typically produced from the fermentation of sugars found in crops like corn, sugarcane, and wheat. Biodiesel is made from vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled grease.
The production of biocombustibles can offer several advantages. They can reduce reliance on fossil fuels, potentially
Current research and development are focused on improving the efficiency of biocombustible production, exploring alternative feedstocks
