Biobutanol, also known as bio-based butanol, is a four-carbon alcohol (C4H10O) produced through the fermentation of biomass feedstocks by specific microorganisms, notably Clostridium species. This biofuel is synthesized via the acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation process, wherein sugars derived from renewable sources like corn, sugarcane, wheat, and lignocellulosic biomass are converted into a mixture of solvents, including biobutanol .
Compared to ethanol, biobutanol possesses several advantageous properties:
Higher Energy Content: Biobutanol contains approximately 29.2 MJ/L, closer to gasoline's 32 MJ/L, making it a more energy-dense alternative .
Lower Volatility: Its lower vapor pressure reduces evaporative emissions and enhances safety during storage and transportation.
Reduced Hygroscopicity: Biobutanol absorbs less water than ethanol, minimizing corrosion in engines and pipelines .
Compatibility with Existing Infrastructure: It can be blended with gasoline at higher concentrations without engine modifications, facilitating its integration into current fuel distribution systems .
Biobutanol stands out as a promising biofuel and chemical feedstock, offering environmental benefits and compatibility with existing infrastructure. With continued advancements and supportive policies, the biobutanol market is expected to play a significant role in the transition toward sustainable energy and materials.
Key Market Drivers include:
Environmental Regulations: Stringent policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions have propelled the adoption of biofuels like biobutanol.
Energy Security: Diversifying energy sources through biofuels enhances national energy independence.
Technological Advancements: Innovations in fermentation processes and genetic engineering have improved biobutanol yields and reduced production costs.
