How does biofuel use differ from solar wind and geothermal energy use?

Biofuel has to be burnt. The heat is used to produce steam which turns electricity turbines, in much the same way as fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) power stations. This burning releases carbon dioxide, but this is a recent recycling of the gas, with no carbon footprint.
None of the other three Is burnt.
* Solar uses photovoltaic panels or focussing mirrors.
* Wind uses the motion of the wind, like hydro power.
* Geothermal uses the existing heat from under the earth to produce the steam.

What is the main renewable energy resources?
Renewable energy: (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass and biofuel).
What are examples of a renewable source of energy?
Renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen).
List six forms of renewable energy?
Renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass and biofuel).
What forms of energy are renewable resources?
Renewable energy (solar, wind, water (hydro, tidal and wave), geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen).
What are some renewable sources of energy besides solar wind and water?
Renewable energy, not solar, wind, or water (hydro, tidal and wave) includes geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen.
What are 6 forms of renewable energy resources?
Renewable energy (solar, wind, water (hydro, tidal and wave), geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen).
What energy sources produce no greenhouse gasses?
Renewable energy sources produce no greenhouse gases.Examples are solar, hydro, wind, wave, tidal, geothermal, biomass, biofuel and others.
What is the energy resource that can be used in place of fossil fuels?
Renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen).
Is Geothermal the same as Solar. If it is not the same then what is Geothermal?
Geothermal energy is not the same as solar energy- geothermal refers to heat generated by the earth, not the sun.
What type of energy do not contribute to climate change?
Renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass and biofuel) does not contribute carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to the atmosphere, unlike fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
