Material Detail

Biofuels are an energy currency derived from renewable biological sources, such as plants, algae, and organic waste materials. They can replace fossil fuels like gasoline and diesel.

Biofuels are considered a part of the broader strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on finite fossil fuel resources. However, current feedstock use and production methods raise debates and concerns related to their environmental impact, land use, and competition with food production that are yet to be solved with more sustainable biofuel production.
