B3 4.6 Biofuels

?
name two types of biofuels
ethanol-based fuels and biogas
1 of 10
how can ethanol based fuels be produced?
by fermentation
2 of 10
how is ethanol produced?
microorganisms respire anaerobically, using sugars from crops as the energy source
3 of 10
how is glucose produced?
from maize starch by the action of a carbohydrase
4 of 10
how are the glucose and sugar cane juices used to produce ethanol
fermentation by yeast
5 of 10
how is ethanol extracted
distillation
6 of 10
what can the ethanol be used for?
fuel in motor vehicles
7 of 10
what is a good effect of using ethanol as fuel
replacement of fossil fuels in the future. more carbon friendly.
8 of 10
why is ethanol described as carbon neutral?
because only the carbon dioxide used for photosynthesis by the crops is returned to the atmosphere when the ethanol is burned
9 of 10
name the processes of burning producing ethanol from starch
digestion of starch to sugar by carbohydrase, fermentation (anaerobic resiration) by yeast and distillation
