there are many good things about biofuel. here is a list:
1. it can be used on any diesel engine, with little or no modifications.
2. it is carbon neutral, because just as much CO2 that goes into making it comes out when burned.
3. it is cleaner than fossil diesel, because there is no sulfur in it; unlike fossil fuels.
4. you can go longer on a gallon of biofuel (or fossil diesel) than with gas or ethonal.
5. unlike ethonal or hydrogen, the infrastructure for transport is already there.
6. a lot less energy goes into making biofuel than ethonal or hydrogen.
but there is a con:
the plants that produce biofuel must be grown on fertile soil, and produces very little fuel per acre. that will change, however, with algae oil and jatropha oil, because both are inedible, can be grown just about anywhere, and produce a lot of fuel per acre.
