Improving the beneficial use of waste material from a vegetation source, a biomass is fermented to produce a bio-fuel and carbon. The bio-fuel can be at least ethanol and bio-diesel and the resulting carbon can used to produce ink for printers. When the biomass is tree matter, a biocatalyst can extracted from the tree matter prior to fermentation. A component of the biocatalyst is used to cleanse internal combustion engine exhaust emissions by spraying the biocatalyst onto a exhaust emission gas. The sprayed exhaust emission gas can be filtered and the filtration by-product can be collected. L'invention consiste à améliorer l'utilisation avantageuse d'un matériau de déchet d'une source végétale, à cet effet une biomasse est fermentée de manière à produire un biocarburant et du carbone. Le biocarburant peut être au moins de l'éthanol et du biodiesel et le carbone obtenu peut être utilisé pour produire de l'encre pour les imprimantes. Lorsque la biomasse est une matière issue d'un arbre, un biocatalyseur peut être extrait de la matière avant la fermentation. Un composant du biocatalyseur est utilisé pour nettoyer les émissions de gaz d'échappement de moteurs à combustion interne en pulvérisant le biocatalyseur sur un gaz d'échappement. Le gaz d'échappement ainsi traité peut être filtré et le sous-produit de filtration peut être collecté.
