Plant-based biofuels are a sustainable resource that could be used to displace the oil consumption used in transportation such as motor vehicles and aviation. Biofuels from plants are the most abundant source of renewable fuels, enabling the production of ethanol and butanol (as gasoline additives) and long-chain hydrocarbons from starch, cellulose, hemicellulose, and oils.
