The process diagram illustrates the manufacturing of a biofuel known as ethanol, through natural or artificial sources.
Overall, the production of ethanol involves 10 stages, starting with growing of plants and trees in proper environment and ending with ethanol used in various types of mechanical machines.
Initially, the trees and plants are grown that requires sunlight and carbon dioxide. The fully grown trees are ready to harvest with the help of mechanical machine. Next, the row product is pre-processed that separates cellulose from the trees and plants. The cellulose is processed to convert it into sugar. Next important stage is to add microbes in processed sugar that converts into final form that is ethanol which is also a type of biofuel. Once the ethanol is produced it is ready to use in machines such as cars, trucks, and airplane and other type of machines. The carbon dioxide emitted from the vehicles are reused in growth of trees that assist this cycle to produce ethanol to continue.
