 One of the reasons bio-butanol is gaining so much attention as a green alternative fuel is because it is superior to bioethanol. It has lower volatility and vapor pressure, making it easier to mix with any gasoline concentration. It also reduces greenhouse gas emissions. This has prompted the United States and many European countries to begin fleet-testing bio-butane in their cars. However, there are many benefits to using it as a vehicle fuel.

According to Coherent Market Insights the Bio-Butanol Market  Global Industry Insight, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028.

It has a similar chemical structure to gasoline, which makes it easy to use in vehicles. The best part about using it in gasoline is that it is safe to mix it with gasoline without altering any current technology. It is also less likely to cause ignition problems because it has a lower heat of vaporization than ethanol or methanol. It is currently made from corn and is used in chemical applications. Researches have been conducted on the production of butanol from palm fruit and cassava. A recent advancement in technology has been the production of this from renewable biomass. The process is a combination of metabolic engineering and rediscovery of biochemical pathways. This process is more effective than ever before and is highly desirable for fuels. The process of converting biobutanol into fuel is very similar to that of fuel ethanol. It's the fermentation of the corn feedstock that produces it. This process is similar to that of fuel ethanol, but is more cost-effective. It can also be used as a sustainable aviation fuel. A new study conducted by Gevo found bio-butanol to be nearly identical to ethanol production.

Some companies are currently developing commercial butanol fermentation processes. Its production has the potential to replace gasoline in many applications, and can be blended with conventional diesel fuel.
