Introduction

Bio-butanol is a four carbon alcohol produced due to fermenting of sugars in the biomass feedstock. Its long hydrocarbon chain makes it non-polar. Moreover, the compound can also be manufactured by utilizing Ralstonia eutropha H16. Furthermore, the manufacturing process needs carbon dioxide and power supply along with the utility of electro-bioreactor. In addition to this, bio-butanol demonstrates the ability of minimizing carbon emissions by nearly eighty-five percent. Bio-butanol is used as fuel for internal combustion engines. Reportedly, it has been found that bio-butanol possess more energy content over ethanol and hence is combined with petrol for usage in unmodified engines.

Moreover, it is less corrosive & explosive in comparison to ethanol and more energy dense as well as lesser hygroscopic as compared to bio-ethanol. As per EPA, bio-butanol reduces emissions of hydrocarbon, nitrogen oxide, and carbon monoxide, thereby contributing notably towards green environment.
