To be a bio-fuel a material has to be "bio" (derived from a recently living plant or animal source) and "fuel" (capable of being combusted in a manner that gives heat).
This leaves a wide range of potential candidates:
- any plant or animal oil or fat new or used (e.g. old chip fryer oil)
- any unused parts of plants (husks, bark, leaves)
- methane derived from anaerobic digestion of waste including sewage
- waste paper and wood
- animal bodies and waste
- crematory off-gases
- fermentable sugars and cellulose can become alcohol
- cow and other ruminant dung
- specifically grown trees chipped and pelletized
- general garbage and trash
