BIOFUELS DEFINITION simply fuels in the form of liquid such as ethanol or biodiesel or gaseous derived from biological (e. g. agricultural) sources Agricultural sources: 1. Cereals, grains, sugar crops and other biomass can fairly easily be fermented to produce ethanol; 2. Oil-seed crops (e. g. palm oil, coconut oil and peanut oil) can be converted into methyl esters - biodiesel; 3. Organic waste material can also be converted into energy forms which can be used as automotive fuel: waste oil (e. g. frying oil) into biodiesel; animal manure and organic household wastes into biogas (e. g. methane); and agricultural and forestry waste products into ethanol.
