Biofuels
Posts in this category are about Biofuels. Biofuels are 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. Examples of solid Biofuels are wood pellets, wood chips, and straw. Liquid and gaseous agrofuels can be produced from crops high in sugar (sugar can, sugar beet, and sweet sorghum) and starch (corn and maize), which are then fermented to produce ethanol. Also, crops with high amounts of vegetable oil (palm, soybean, or algae) produce oils that when heated can be processed to produce biodiesel.
