Biofuels [PDF]

Nature, 2011
Biofuel is a generic name for liquid or gaseous fuels that are not derived from petroleum based fossils fuels or contain a proportion of non-fossil fuel. Biofuels include products such as ethanol, methanol, and biodiesel. Biofuels are produced from sources such as: corn, soybeans, flaxseed, rapeseed, sugarcane, palm oil, sugar beet raw sewage, food ...
