Biofuel
Biofuel can be theoretically produced from any (biological) carbon source. The most common by far is photosynthetic plants that capture solar energy. Biofuel can be broadly defined as solid, liquid, or gas fuel derived from recently dead biological material, most commonly plants (rapeseed, vegetable oils, soy, mustard, flax, sunflower, hemp, etc).Facts
Biodiesel is about 10% oxygen by weight and contains no sulfur. The lifecycle production and use of biodiesel produces approximately 80% less carbon dioxide emissions, and almost 100% less sulfur dioxide.
Biodiesel is the only alternative fuel that runs in any conventional, unmodified diesel engine.
Biofuel Watch Biofuelwatch campaign for regulation to ensure that only sustainably-sourced biofuels can be sold in the European Union.
