Bio comes from the Greek word for 'life'. Biofuel is usually an oil made from living, or organic materials like plants or algae. Ethanol is one of these renewable fuels that have a zero carbon footprint, as the plant matter removed carbon dioxide from the air when it was growing, then releases the same carbon back when the fuel is burnt.
What else can I help you with?
Is ethanol a biofuel?
Ethanol can be a biofuel if it is obtained from vegetable matter. It can also be produced by the hydrogenation of ethylene in a refinery or chemical plant.
Give an example of a biofuel?
Ethanol
What type of fuel is ethanol?
Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) is a fuel made by fermentation or the substitution of ethylene. It is described as a "biofuel" by proponents when it is made from corn, grain, sugar or cellulose, it can also be made by industrial process as a by-product or major product.
What is the main chemical in biofuel?
The main component is ethanol.
What is a biofuel vehicle?
Gasoline biofuel is a mixture of gasoline and ethanol. Ethanol is a plant based alcohol, I.E. biological. Biodiesel works the same was but is an oil not an alocohol. The diesel engine was original designed and ran on a biofuel(peanut oil).
Is biofuel better then ethanol?
Ethanol is one of the biofuels, so it can't be better than itself.
Which of the following States is the likeliest place for the further development of ethanol and other biofuel production?
Iowa is the most likely state where further development of ethanol and other biofuel production will take place.
What is an example of a biofuel?
An example of a biofuel would be ethanol. A biofuel is anything that is organic, and can be grown by humans on a mass scale. Other examples are peanut oil and lamp oil.
What is a disadvantage of ethanol as a biofuel?
Growing corn could be bad for the soil.
Does Ethanol contribute to the greenhouse effect?
Ethanol is a biofuel produced from vegetable matter. When the crop grows, it removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When the biofuel is burnt, that same carbon dioxide is released. So ethanol, basically, is carbon-neutral and does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
What is a bioethanol?
A bioethanol is a variety of ethanol produced, by fermentation of crops, for use as a biofuel.
What States is the likeliest place for the further development of ethanol and other biofuel production?
iowa
