BIOFUELS

Biofuels are fuels that we get from biomass. Biofuels are made mostly from plants that have just been harvested. Biofuels can be in solid, liquid, or gaseous forms. There are three main types of biofuel. They are ethanol, biodiesel, and biojet fuel.

  Ethanol is another word for alcohol made from grains. In most countries, it is mixed with gasoline to create a blend that can be used in cars instead of petrol.

  Biodiesel is made by refining oil, fat, or grease collected from plants and animals. Biojet fuel is used in planes. Biofuels are considered renewable because they can be replenished as quickly as they are used.

        In other words, under normal circumstances we will not run out of energy derived from biofuels. As a result, biofuels are sometimes called the fuel of the future.
