Liquid Fuels

Transform various materials such as saplings, wheat, nether wart, or any other organic matter into efficient liquid fuel to power your industrial facilities! This mod unlocks new possibilities for energy supply through the processing of biological waste.

Bio-fuel Production Chain

Stage 1: Biomass Creation

Place water and plant materials into the masher. The device will convert them into biomass (note: this type of biomass is not compatible with Forestry biomass).

Stage 2: Mash Production

Load biomass into the bio-reactor - a multiblock structure consisting of 34 tanks arranged in a 3x4x3 pattern with an hollow interior and the main reactor block on top. Completely fill the system with biomass and provide power to transform the biomass into mash.

Stage 3: Fermentation Process

Place mash into the fermenter to produce stillage.

Stage 4: Ethanol Distillation

Feed stillage into the still along with steam. Steam can be obtained using Railcraft, Factorization, or by using an electric boiler that requires water and power. The still will use steam and stillage to produce ethanol (which is compatible with Forestry).

Stage 5: Additional Processing (optional)

Use a Buildcraft refinery to convert ethanol into standard fuel (the advantage is only the ability to mix ethanol with other fuel).
