- Biofuel - Wikipedia
Biofuel is a fuel that is produced over a short time span from biomass, rather than by the very slow natural processes involved in the formation of fossil fuels such as oil [1]
- Biofuel | Definition, Renewable Energy, Types, Pros and . . .
Biofuel is a renewable energy source that is derived from plant, algal, or animal biomass Biofuel is advocated as a cost-effective and environmentally benign alternative to petroleum and other fossil fuels
- Biofuel Basics - Department of Energy
Unlike other renewable energy sources, biomass can be converted directly into liquid fuels, called "biofuels," to help meet transportation fuel needs The two most common types of biofuels in use today are ethanol and biodiesel, both of which represent the first generation of biofuel technology
- Biofuels explained - U. S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)
The term biofuels usually applies to liquid fuels and blending components produced from biomass materials called feedstocks Biofuels may also include methane produced from landfill gas and biogas and hydrogen produced from renewable resources
- Biofuel - MIT Climate Portal
Biofuel is any liquid fuel made from “biomass”—that is, plants and other biological matter like animal waste and leftover cooking fat Biofuels can be used as replacements for petroleum-based fuels like gasoline and diesel
- What are Biofuels? Their Definition, Types, Advantages . . .
Biofuels can be broadly categorized into three main types: These are derived from edible crops like corn, sugarcane, and vegetable oils They include bioethanol and biodiesel, which can be blended with or directly replace conventional gasoline and diesel fuels, respectively
