1. Bio fuels are produced from living organisms or from metabolic by-products (organic or food waste products). In order to be considered a bio fuel the fuel must contain over 80 percent renewable materials. It is originally derived from the photosynthesis process and can therefore often be referred to as a solar energy source. There are many pros and cons to using bio fuels as an energy source. This page contains articles that explore the many bio fuel technologies.

2. Benefits: Bio fuels, such as E85 ethanol and B20 biodiesel, are cleaner burning, homegrown, renewable fuels. Vehicles running on bio fuels emit less air pollution, including cancer- causing compounds. The use of bio fuels also helps reduce our dependence on petroleum and provides alternative markets for farm and forest products.

3. Each year, the average car emits about 10,000 lbs (three times its weight!) in carbon dioxide – a leading cause of global warming. You buy a TerraPass. TerraPass funds carbon reduction projects Your TerraPass is third-party verified to reduce the equivalent of your carbon dioxide.
