Second generation biofuels are also known as advanced fuels which can be manufactured from various types of biomass. These feed-stocks include lignocellulosic biomass, agricultural residue, as well as dedicated non-food energy crops grown on marginal land unsuitable for food production. The goal of second-generation biofuel processes is to extend the amount of biofuel that can be produced sustainably by using biomass consisting of the residual non-food parts of crops, such as stems, leaves, and husks that are left behind once the food crop has been extracted, as well as other crops that are not used for food purposes (non-food crops), such as switchgrass, grass, jatropha, and whole crop maize.
