Hopefully my title makes sense
everyone has heard of biodiesel
And ethanol a terrible fuel for cars if there was no gasoline
Some interesting fuels turpentine
Extracted from pine trees
And distilled from tree resin
In 1946, Soichiro Honda used turpentine as a fuel for the first Honda motorcycles as gasoline was almost totally unavailable in Japan following World
War II.
Pyrolysis of wood alcohol
Wood Vinegar
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyroligneous_acid
The principal components of pyroligneous acid are acetic acid, acetone and methanol. It was once used as a commercial source for acetic acid. Calcium
carbonate can react to form calcium acetate then decomposed to acetone which is separated from the methanol
I guess benzene
Trimerization of acetylene gives benzene
Electrolysis of calcium carbide
