Tag: Biofuels

Biofuels are renewable fuels derived from biological materials, primarily organic matter such as plants, crops, and waste. They are designed to serve as alternatives to fossil fuels, offering a more sustainable energy source that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on non-renewable resources. Common types of biofuels include biodiesel, produced from oils or fats, and bioethanol, typically made from fermented crops like corn or sugarcane. Biofuels can be used in various applications, including transportation, heating, and electricity generation, either in pure form or blended with conventional fuels. The use of biofuels is often promoted as a means to achieve energy security and environmental sustainability.
