2.  Produced from Carbon Dioxide  Harvested from plants and pre-processed from cellulose  Enzymes break cellulose down into sugars  Microbes ferment sugars into ethanol which is a Biofuel  used for cars, trucks, airplanes, etc which gives off Carbon Dioxide and the cycle repeats  najjapak.wordpress.com

3. Vegetable oil or animal-fat based diesel consisting of long chain alkyl esters. Typically made by chemically reacting lipids. Made from vegetable oils such as – peanut, oil palm, coconut, rapeseed, soybean, sunflower Ethanol (ethyl alcohol), the same type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages. It can be used as a transport fuel, mainly as a biofuel additive for gasoline. A liquid produced by fermentation in which yeast metabolizes sugar, producing carbon dioxide and ethanol, usually made from a grain corn or a maize.

4.  It is made from renewable resources.  It performs just as well as the normal diesel fuel.  Doesn’t require any radical changes to convert to a biofuel  Are cheaper than fossil fuels.  Considered ‘carbon neutral', therefore, they don’t contribute to global warming

5.  Competition between running cars and feeding people.  Production can lead to environmental destruction. Ex. Brazil  Growing crops for biofuel doesn't absorb the fossil fuel emissions  Considerable carbon emissions from the coal/gas required during manufacturing process

6.  The carbon dioxide they release when burnt is equal to the amount that the plants absorbed out of the atmosphere.  Their growth can leverage our existing agricultural capability  The products fit well in our existing energy transportation
