Bioethanol is one of the most widely used biofuels and requires minimal retrofitting to preexisting energy infrastructure for use. For many countries, increasing the production of bioethanol can help decrease dependence on economically unstable fossil fuels as well as decrease overall greenhouse gas emissions. However, the many nuances of Bioethanol production effect its overall economic viability and environmental impact. This paper reviews how the chemical makeup of bioethanol feedstocks affects the technology requirements and economics of production. The discussion highlights the importance of government regulations and technology advances in increasing sustainable bioethanol production.

Summary: The process of extracting biogas from organic material is called biomass gasification. organic material is called biomass gasification. Organic material is processed through anaerobic digestion, a means of heating the materials in the absence of oxygen. Microbes are often used in the gasification process as anaerobic digesters to break down organic material. As a result, biomass becomes biogas that can be used as a form of renewable energy, and fertilizer can be a byproduct of this process as well. Many municipal governments are realizing the potential for producing energy through biogasification as a benefit to their communities, and are supporting projects.
