Best Answer

Yes. Biofuels are various kinds of vegetable mass, including vegetable oil. When the vegetation grew (usually in the past year), it removed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Now, when the biofuel is burnt, it releases the same carbon back into the atmosphere. This makes it carbon-neutral.

Because the vegetation can all be grown again, it is counted as renewable.
