Rentech
Second-generation biofuels are made from lignocellulosic or woody biomass or agricultural by-products. Here, the practice of “turning food into fuel” is less glaring, and marginal (not very arable) lands can be utilized. Examples of popular sources for second-generation biofuels are perennial grasses, by-products from the sugar cane and sorghum industries, jatropha, and waste vegetable oil from restaurants.
