Liquid fuels can be categorised into several different fuels, which are gained from the conversion of biomass, such as alcohols (e.g. ethanol, methanol), plant oil, and those generated from fossil fuels (e.g. kerosene, also known as paraffin). Ethanol can be also produced from fossil fuel sources, to produce ethylene which is created by the acid-catalyzed hydration of petroleum. By using biomass to produce ethanol, the fuel is classed as a renewable energy source, as the greenhouse gases released in its production and consumption are theoretically equivalent to those absorbed during its growth cycle. The commercial large-scale use of ethanol, e.g. as car fuel, enhanced the prices of food products on the global market, which is widely discussed and known as the food vs. fuel discussion. In 2012, FAO published an assessment of impacts of bioenergy on food security[1], however a study by FAO in 2011 ""Energy-Smart Food at FAO: An Overview" also showed that the simultaneous production of food and energy may offer great potential for food and energy security, particularly for small-scale farmers[2].
