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

production due to its high availability and low price.

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

increasing global concern.

Bioethanol pertains to ethyl alcohol produced by microbial fermentation that is used as a fuel for

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

after sugar extraction.

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.
