Biofuel is defined as solid,
liquid or gaseous
fuel
derived from relatively recently
dead
biological
material and is
distinguished from
fossil fuels,
which are
derived from
long dead biological material.
Theoretically, biofuels can be
produced from any (biological)
carbon source; although, the most
common sources are
photosynthetic
plants.
Various plants and plant-derived
materials are used for biofuel
manufacturing. Globally, biofuels
are most commonly used to power
vehicles,
heating homes, and
cooking stoves.
Biofuel industries are expanding in
Europe,
Asia
and the
Americas.
Recent technology developed at Los
Alamos National Lab even allows for
the conversion of pollution into
renewable bio fuel.[1]
Agrofuels are biofuels which are
produced from specific crops, rather
than from waste processes such as
landfill off-gassing or recycled
vegetable oil.[2]
