Biofuel production and use, diagram
Biofuel production and use, diagram. At far left the first stage is the source material (biomass, plant or other organic material). This is added to a separation tank (centre left). The cycle moving clockwise proceeds to the addition of enzymes (black barrels) in a hydrolysis tank, then yeast (yellow) added to a fermentation tank. At upper right, the distillation stage produces the biofuel to use in motor vehicles. At lower right, another separation tank converts the remaining biomass to pellets used for heating. At lower left, a converter extracts biogas from the residues of both the source and biofuel cycles. This gas can be used for heating

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of biofuel production and use. The diagram presents a comprehensive overview, starting from the left with the source material, which can be biomass or any organic matter. As we move towards the center-left, we encounter a separation tank where this material undergoes initial processing. The clockwise cycle then progresses to the addition of enzymes, represented by black barrels in a hydrolysis tank. Following this step, yellow yeast is introduced into a fermentation tank. At the upper right corner of the image, we witness distillation taking place to produce biofuel specifically designed for motor vehicles. Meanwhile, at lower right, another separation tank efficiently converts leftover biomass into pellets that are utilized for heating purposes. In an innovative twist at lower left, a converter extracts biogas from both source and biofuel residues - offering yet another sustainable energy option for heating applications. This thought-provoking illustration beautifully captures various stages within the biofuel production cycle while emphasizing its environmental significance and potential impact on our daily lives. Claus Lunau's artwork provides valuable insights into cutting-edge technology employed in chemical engineering and industrial processes related to renewable energy sources like biodiesel and ethanol.
