The diagram illustrates the process how ethanol is produced and used by several means of transport.
Overall, the process consists of three distinct stages, beginning with the cultivation of plants and trees, undergoing industrial steps, and finishing with the production of ready biofuel – ethanol. Additionally, the process is a complex one, which involves chemical treatment and requires the use of special machines.
In the initial phase, plants and trees are grown and harvested by tractors before being transported to the area, where they are crushed and pre-processed. Next, these small pieces are turned into cellulose. Once going through a processing step with numerious kinds of chemicals being used, sugar is extracted from the cellulose.
Subsequently, the mixture of microbes and sugars result in ethanol’s production. Then, different types of vehicles, such as cars, vans, and airplanes run with this biofuel. Carbon footprints disposed by these transports, which are then combined with the sunlight, produce energy that maintains the cultivation of flora.
