Cellulosic biofuel

Cellulosic biofuel is a type of renewable energy made from non-food plants and agricultural waste, such as straw, wood chips, or grass. Unlike traditional biofuels made from crops like corn, cellulosic biofuels use the fibrous parts of plants, which do not compete with food supplies. The process involves breaking down cellulose, a complex carbohydrate found in plant cell walls, into sugars that can be fermented into fuel. This approach helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels, making it a more sustainable option for energy production.
