Why do biofuels not contribute to global warming even though burning biofuels releases carbon dioxide?
Biofuels are part of the natural carbon cycle, in which plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air and this becomes carbon which is eventually returned to the air when vegetation rots or is burnt, or when animals eat it and respire carbon dioxide back into the air. Thus, although burning of wood and biofuels does release carbon dioxide back into the air, this process does not add to the long term concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide. When we create carbon dioxide from carbon that has been sequestered underground, we add new carbon dioxide to the air, increasing its concentration and causing global warming.
Is bio energy an example of non renewable resource?
No, biomass, biogas, biodiesel and other biofuels are all renewable.
How are biofuels not carbon neutral?
Biofuels are carbon neutral.Bio fuels are considered carbon neutral because they give off the same amount of carbon when burned that they absorb while growing. So, unlike fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), they don't pollute the environment by adding extra CO2 to the atmosphere.
What countries are 'energy independent'?
As of 2006, Brazil is energy independent. It no longer imports oil. It produces biofuels, hydroelectric power, etc.
Bio-diesel is extracted from which plants?
Some examples of biofuels would be, ethanol, straw, etc. Anything that is organic and can be grown by humans in mass. Lamp oil, flaxseed oil, peanut oil (substitutes for diesel), turpentine, plant-based ethanol, and biomass methane gas are all examples of biofuels.
What are traditional biofuels?

What are the advantages of using biofuels instead of petrol?
Biofuels are renewable, we can get more of them. Petrol will eventually run out.
Why are biofuels important?
Biofuels are important because they are a renewable resource, whereas there are limited reserves of carbon based fuels. Biofuels are also responsible for fewer carbon dioxide emissions.
Using biofuels instead of fossil fuels because biofuels are renewable is an example ofhing?
