1. BIOFUELS. TYPES AND PERSPECTIVES OF THE SECTOR

1.1 TYPES

The biofuels are products of biological origin, obtained in a renewable way, from the rests of the organic residues of the sugar, wheat, corn or oil seeds.
The biofuels are divided in twobig categories according to the raw material and the process used to produce the finished product.
The biofuels of first generation are produced in two ways. One of them is through fermentation, of an alimentary product starch-based, as corn beans, or an alimentary product with sugar basis, as sugar cane in ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol.
Other way is by processing vegetables oils, as soy,rape, palm and Jatropha, in biofuel.
The biofuels more common today are the BIODIESEL, that can be used only mixed with diesel; Bioethanol, used as a substitute or mixed gasoline and the Biojet, used as a mixture in the fuel used by the airplanes.
The biodiesel is a biofuel that is made from any animal fat or vegetable oil used or without using.
The most common system of fabrication is themixture of this fats or oils as an alcohol (Methanol or Ethanol) and using a catalyser they are converted through a process of transesterification in Biodiesel.
The Biodiesel has several advantages, because it derivates from the oil seed of the Jatropha tree, which is a very good thing for the green revolution. The use of the biodiesel reduces the carbon emissions and improves the sustainability ofthe air contamination. It has an insignificant amount of sulfur and has excellent results when compared with the normal diesel emissions. The inflammation point is very high, and this makes it safe for storage and transport.
The use of biodiesel covers the growing need of a fuel which is respectful with the environment. Also, the biodiesel is a renewable energy source, which can generate MDLbenefits (carbon credits) for the plantations.
Today, according to the Kioto Protocol, the European Union has the order of B20 (20% of biodiesel to be mixed with normal gasoline) by the end of 2012. According to recent researches, there will be a need of 250 millions of tons of biodiesel only in the European Union.

The Bioethanol is a biofuel produced from thefermentation of the sugars or starches that can be found in products or vegetable residues, as the beetroot, corn, potatoes, yucca, wood and vegetable residues as the straw and the stems and covers of the corn.
The Biojet A or B is a Biofuel that in this moment is being developed, for the mixture or substitution of kerosene JET-A or JET-B, that is being using nowadays in the aviation area.
