Tomato production throughout the field, processing, waste treatment, transport and pos-consumers
waste disposal phases were investigated. The analysis was conducted that tomato ethanol fuel has
relevant mass and energy flows for each production were identified.
Starchy grains as current major feedstock for bioethanol production are competing with food
supply; therefore, lignocellulosic biomass was persued as an alternative feedstock for bioethanol

Etyhl alcohol is the most employed liquefied biogas used as a fuel or as a gsoline enhancer.
The increasing demand for fossil fuel, mainly in the transportation industry, has led to development
of studies proposing alternative sources of energy, such as biofuels, which are a renewable energy
source produced from natural (plant) materials that can be used as a substitute for petroleum fuels.

Agriculture is a significant contributor to rising atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) levels, which
is expected to result in sea level rise and increased frequency of extreme weather events and is of

transit. It is produced through distillation of the ethanolic lavation emanating from fermentation of
biomass derived sugars and can be used as a liquid fuel in internal combustion motor, either heat
or in petrol blends.
Brazil is the global biggest exporter of bioethanol and second largest manufacturer after United
States. Since Brazil is one of the most developed nations in ethanol production, almost all the
Brazilian vehicles use either pure ethanol or the blend of gasoline and ethanol.
Sugar crops, in order for fermentation, needs a milling process to produce into ethanol. In this
process, ethanol is directly fermented from cane juice or molasses generally known as a by product
First generation bioethanol come from agricultural feedstocks that are sources of both human and
animal food. The bioethanol produced by fermentation of sugars such as sugarcane, sugar beet ,
root crops such as cassava are commonly known as first generation bioethanol.
