A recent trend has been the production of liquid biofuels from a range of biomass feedstock, beyond the traditional ones used for producing ethanol and biodiesel - viz., sugarcane, corn, vegetable oils etc.
Feedstock could involve agricultural wastes, industrial biomass/organic waste streams, and in some cases even the organic portions of municipal solid waste.
Conversion of such diverse biomass/organic feedstock to liquid biofuels would typically require specialized technologies such as gasification that convert biomass into an intermediate gas that is a mixture of CO & hydrogen, which is a starting product to produce a variety of liquid fuels.
