Difference between Biofuel and Waste-to-energy

Biofuel vs. Waste-to-energy

A biofuel is a fuel that is produced through contemporary biological processes, such as agriculture and anaerobic digestion, rather than a fuel produced by geological processes such as those involved in the formation of fossil fuels, such as coal and petroleum, from prehistoric biological matter. Waste-to-energy (WtE) or energy-from-waste (EfW) is the process of generating energy in the form of electricity and/or heat from the primary treatment of waste, or the processing of waste into a fuel source.

Similarities between Biofuel and Waste-to-energy

Biofuel and Waste-to-energy have 24 things in common (in Unionpedia): Anaerobic digestion, Biodegradable waste, Biofuel, Biomass, Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide, Cellulose, Ester, Ethanol, Hydrogen, India, Landfill, Landfill gas, Liquid fuel, Mechanical biological treatment, Methane, Methanol, Municipal solid waste, Non-renewable resource, OECD, Particulates, Pyrolysis, Syngas, Tar.

Anaerobic digestion

Anaerobic digestion is a collection of processes by which microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen.

Biodegradable waste

Biodegradable waste includes any organic matter in waste which can be broken down into carbon dioxide, water, methane or simple organic molecules by micro-organisms and other living things using composting, aerobic digestion, anaerobic digestion or similar processes.
