Biogasoline

Biogasoline is a type of <a href="/facts/Synthetic_fuel/H5UxNxQD">synthetic</a> <a href="/facts/Gasoline/lcnxq5BS">gasoline</a> produced from <a href="/facts/Biomass_(energy)/bN7lfSb2">biomass</a> such as <a href="/facts/Algae/U1ftVKU3">algae</a> and <a href="/facts/Plant/X5BMDMvS">plants</a>. Like traditionally <a href="/facts/Petroleum/IQV0bHVd">petroleum</a>-derived gasoline, biogasoline is made up of <a href="/facts/Hydrocarbon/Dcg95Ju5">hydrocarbons</a> with 6 (<a href="/facts/Hexane/JxPecNPt">hexane</a>) to 12 (<a href="/facts/Dodecane/C9SEWoQb">dodecane</a>) <a href="/facts/Carbon/ukrgQexo">carbon</a> atoms per <a href="/facts/Molecule/N9ljSfFq">molecule</a>, and can be directly used in conventional <a href="/facts/Internal_combustion_engine/Ju4BXzj0">internal combustion engines</a>. However, unlike traditional gasoline, which are <a href="/facts/Fractional_distillation/DdNf0k8I">fractionally distilled</a> from crude oil and thus are <a href="/facts/Non-renewable/pTvw6edQ">non-renewable</a> <a href="/facts/Fossil_fuel/BPgxAqB7">fossil fuels</a>, biogasolines are <a href="/facts/Renewable_fuel/flb46VjG">renewable</a> <a href="/facts/Biofuel/RWu7b6Y3">biofuels</a> made from <a href="/facts/Algae_fuel/A0SBG0RL">algal materials</a>, <a href="/facts/Energy_crop/kICoqJaT">energy crops</a> such as <a href="/facts/Beet/RkzMBNlM">beets</a> and <a href="/facts/Sugarcane/925qszH4">sugarcane</a>, and other <a href="/facts/Cellulosic/wYPafTU0">cellulosic</a> <a href="/facts/Crop_residue/Qz0CNVBu">residues</a> traditionally regarded to as <a href="/facts/Agricultural_waste/uPeoWSFx">agricultural waste</a>.
Biofuels most often apply to the product of compounded biomass substance called <a href="/facts/Feedstock/cthCpclF">feedstocks</a>. Biomass is abstract in nature and used to produce gasoline that generates net-zero carbon emissions through a process called <a href="/facts/Gasification/kN2Ng4hL">gasification</a>. There are multi-various methods through which this fuel can be produced; however, determining the optimal gasification route through which to apply a particular feedstock or biomass relies on experimentation and trial and error.
Biogasoline chemically differs from common biofuels such as <a href="/facts/Butanol_fuel/QV1BFY0C">biobutanol</a> and <a href="/facts/Bioethanol/3lCLfBSP">bioethanol</a>, as these substances are <a href="/facts/Alcohol_(chemistry)/Y0SCTDkh">alcohols</a>. Biogasoline is, however, chemically similar to <a href="/facts/Biodiesel/M6FkfJXH">biodiesel</a>, which are made with additional carbons.
