Biofuel is anything recently grown that can be burnt to provide energy. It also includes oil made from vegetation.
It affects the environment in many ways:
- Land is cleared to grow the crops. This may mean deforestation. Or it may mean that food is no longer grown on the land, pushing food prices up.
- It releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, when burnt. However, this carbon dioxide was removed from the air when the vegetation grew, so biofuel is usually carbon-neutral.

What is the total amount of living material found in the environment?
biomass
Is biomass bad for the environment?
The biomass is the amount of living matter in an environment. It is neither good nor bad. Humans are part of the biomass of their environment. The environment can only support a certain amount of biomass before the resources are depleted.
How is energy returned to the environment through the decay of biomass?
we in hail it
How can biomass energy be negative to the environment?
it release carbon dioxide
What measures the total mass of living things in an environment?
Biomass
What are some biotic factors in a seagrass environment?
biomass, density, leaf morphology
What influences diversity in an environment?
There are many factors in an environment that influence biodiversity, but the root is availability of resources. The more difference resources available, the higher the biomass of the environment. A higher biomass tends to mean a higher number of organisms, and where there are many organisms, specialization and formation of niches causes specification and increases the biodiversity of the environment.
What are the positive effects of coal on the environment?
There are no positive effects of coal on the environment.
What are the harmful effects of CARS to your environment?
The harmful effects of CARS to our environment is the carbon monoxide
A species with low biomass that exerts strong effects on its community?
a species with a low biomass that exerts strong effects on its community is the species that can not adapt to their community so they move or die meaning there is a, another animal b, the community does not have the food that animal needs.
What are the Effects of multinationals on the environment?
effect of multinationals on environment
Why is biomass a better alternative than coal?
The main advantage of biomass over coal is that it is "carbon neutral". This means that in order for the biomass to be created, it consumed carbon dioxide from the environment. Upon burning biomass, no additional carbon is added to our atmosphere. Coal, on the other hand, is taking carbon out of the earth and adding more to our atmosphere.
