Bioliquids are liquid fuels made from biomass for energy purposes other than transport (i.e. heating and electricity).[1]
Bioliquids are usually made from virgin or used vegetable and seed oils, like palm or soya oil. These oils are burned in a power station to create heat, which can then be used to warm homes or boil water to make steam. This steam can then be used to drive a turbine to generate electricity.
Rudolf Diesel's first public exhibition of the internal combustion engine, that was to later bear his name, ran on peanut oil.[2]
