Biomass Resource Base for Second-Generation Biofuels

Talha Akbar Kamal — Mon, 24 Aug 2026 05:24:00 +0000

Second-generation biofuels, also known as advanced biofuels, primarily includes cellulosic ethanol. The resource base for the production of second-generation biofuel are non-edible lignocellulosic biomass resources (such as leaves, stem and husk) which do not compete with food resources. The resource...
