Biofuel can best be described as an alternative fuel source, whether solid, liquid, or gas, which is derived from biomass. Biomass is the base compound for biofuels, and comes from grains, cellulose plants and animal fats. In other words, bio-fuel refers to the type of fuel that is derived from living matter.
Biofuel may be produced from any carbon-based source that can be replenished rapidly, such as plants and plant materials. Biofuel converts the sugars and starches from sugarcane, corn, barley, canola and other high-cellulose plants into ethanol, which may be used on its own directly in internal-combustion engines, or mixed with gasoline.
Palm oil, soybean oil and similar oils can also be chemically processed and blended with petrol-based diesel fuel to make biodiesel.
