This idea is based mainly on the most important biochemical process,
which is the process of bioremediation, it is based on the use of anaerobic
fermentation yeast/Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the conversion of sugar
to alcohol and then oxidizing it to get food vinegar followed by some reactions
of neutralization and heating using catalysts and increasing pressure to get
water gas, or what it is called natural gas. This method produces three liters
of natural gas using one liter of sugar solution. The main result of this
process is getting 3 folds of natural gas from 1 liter of sugar in additionthat the source of biofuel
is agricultural so it is free from the organic impurities that are always
present with fossil fuels would be obtained and the biofuel obtained does not
cause air pollution. Glucose is fermented under anaerobic conditions to avoid
the formation of bread yeast.
