Biofuel production does not increase carbon dioxide levels. Biofuel comes from recently grown vegetation of many kinds. When the vegetation grew earlier in the season it took carbon dioxide out of the air. When the biofuel is extracted and burnt that same carbon dioxide is released into the air again. There is no increase of carbon dioxide. Biofuel is carbon neutral.
This is the problem with fossil fuels, who took carbon from the air many millions of years ago. Suddenly releasing this now is adding to the greenhouse gas levels and causing global warming.

Which factor would not increase the production of glucose by photosynthesis in plants?
excess carbon dioxide
How do you produce less carbon dioxide?
By restricting the burning of wood and coal we can reduce the production of carbon dioxide. To minimize the production of carbon dioxide we should also restrict direct oxidation of carbon.
What does it mean to say that algae fuel is carbon neutral?
Carbon neutral means that algae fuel does not affect the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Algae takes in carbon dioxide as it grows, then, when the fuel is burnt, this same carbon dioxide is released. No increase, just exactly the same amount. This is why biofuel is so much better than fossil fuel which releases carbon that had been hidden underground for millions of years, so adding to the levels in the atmosphere.
How Biofuel helps to reduce global warming?
No
Glycolysis ends in the production of?
Carbon Dioxide
What energy source does not increase carbon dioxide levels in the environment?
Any energy source that is renewable does not increase carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the environment. Examples of renewable energy are solar, wind, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal and biofuel.
What is the rate of carbon dioxide production?
You can find the rate of carbon dioxide production by doing an experiment to show the rate of carbon dioxide,You do this by counting the number of bubbles produced per minute.Increasing any key factor will increase the rate...
Which factor would not increase the production of glucose by photosynthesis in plants?
excess carbon dioxide
Does Ethanol contribute to the greenhouse effect?
Ethanol is a biofuel produced from vegetable matter. When the crop grows, it removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When the biofuel is burnt, that same carbon dioxide is released. So ethanol, basically, is carbon-neutral and does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
How does biofuel work?
Biofuel is any kind of oil (vegetable oil) or organic burnable material (biomass) that is not fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas). Biofuel is renewable because it comes from plants or algae that grew recently, and removed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while growing. When burnt, this carbon dioxide (CO2) is returned to the atmosphere as part of the carbon cycle, making biofuel carbon-neutral. So it does not contribute to global warming.
What is a hypothesis for a carbon dioxide sandwich project?
the production of carbon dioxide gas
How do you produce less carbon dioxide?
By restricting the burning of wood and coal we can reduce the production of carbon dioxide. To minimize the production of carbon dioxide we should also restrict direct oxidation of carbon.
Carbon Dioxide Would Increase In The Environment If?
Carbon Dioxide would increase in the environment if the rain forests are demolished.
What does it mean to say that algae fuel is carbon neutral?
Carbon neutral means that algae fuel does not affect the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Algae takes in carbon dioxide as it grows, then, when the fuel is burnt, this same carbon dioxide is released. No increase, just exactly the same amount. This is why biofuel is so much better than fossil fuel which releases carbon that had been hidden underground for millions of years, so adding to the levels in the atmosphere.
How Biofuel helps to reduce global warming?
No
Would industrialization increase the volume of carbon dioxide in the air?
Yes. Cutting down trees will increase carbon dioxide levels.
What is the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere the biggest contributor to?
An increase in the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor to global warming.
