In Nuclear Tech Mod, Biofuel is the liquefied counterpart of Biogas, which is another gas that has its particular production and uses. While not being strong as fuels like Diesel, it is stronger than Petroil and is easily obtainable. It has its own fair share of production and uses. Though, Biofuel isn't that important for progression, so you can make your way to end-game without the need to make this fluid, but that is up to everyone and their own uses. As you probably know, everyone has their own way of playing the mod.
Biofuel is a yellow-ish, flammable, combustible, and polluting fluid, providing 500.0kTU and 1.25MHE per bucket. It also contains a high fuel grade, meaning it is a nice energy provider for whatever type of energy production method you are using.
Production
Biofuel can be produced in 3 total ways, 1 in the Chemical Plant and 2 others in a Industrial Mixer, firstly, a look in the Chemical Plant way of producing Biofuel:
Inputs | Recipe |
---|---|
Chemistry Template: Biofuel Transesterification
Production Time: 3.0 seconds Inputs: Biogas, Ethanol Produces: Biofuel |
Now for the Industrial Mixer way of producing Biofuel, there are 2 ways of doing it, both of these are:
200mB |
250mB |
Those are currently, the only ways of getting Biofuel to date. If there are any expansions in the future, they will be added here.
Uses
Biofuel doesn't help in a lot of things the mod offers, but the following are the processes it can be used on:
Can be solidified through a Industrial Solidification Machine:
- 3600mB Biofuel > 1 Solid Fuel
This is rather inefficient as there are many other fluids in the mod that can be used to make Solid Fuel or even better fuels for their particular ways of being used, and with it being used in such a high amount to make a simple 1 piece of it, makes it a questionable thing to use it for.
Biofuel can be used in a Coker Unit:
- 650mB Biofuel > 1 Petroleum Coke + 65mB Coker Gas
And lastly, Biofuel can be used in a Chainsaw with many other fluids, being a somewhat cheaper alternative to the other fluids it uses.
