What may be a drawback to using biofuels as a renewable energy resource?
There are several potential drawbacks. If the biofuel is ethanol, then the entire fuel distribution infrastructure and fleet of vehicle engines need to be changed in order to accomodate ethanol, which is more corrosive than gasoline. Moreover, the fuel needs are so large that replacing gasoline with biofuels requires an immense amount of land, which can compete with farmland for food, particularly of corn is used as the biofuel feedstock. Biofuels made from cellulose (the cell walls of plants) reduces this issue slightly. Biofuel production from algae shows some potential but still faces a number of challenges, particularly related to land and water use.

Do Bio Fuels release sulfur dioxide?
Yes. I do not like using links from companies related to the biofuels industry, but in this case, I could not find any other information on the internet about how much sulfur dioxide is released from burning biofuels. It does get complicated, as there are all types of biofuels. The biofuels are reported as contributing much less air pollutants than diesel or gasoline, but they are not carbon (or sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide) neutral or zero emissions.
How do biofuels lower carbon emissions?
The steady increase in carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere come from our use of fossil fuels. If we were able to stop using fossil fuels, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would stop rising. Biofuels are a partial answer, because by using biofuels you are reducing our use of fossil fuels.

On Hawaii What Companies Fund or Makes Petroleum Oil?
The islands of Hawaii have no natural petroleum deposits, thus they must rely nearly 100% on imported petroleum. The biofuels industry in Hawaii is small. Pacific Biodiesel is making biodiesel in Hawaii to be used as diesel fuel in trucks and cars. The biodiesel is made in part by using waste restaurant oil. I've included a link to Pacific Biodiesel's website. They list the gas stations that sell their biodiesel fuel. They hope to be using their product in Hawaiian Electric's power plant. Biofuels are controversial I've provided two websites, one in favor of biofuels and another one is against biofuels, at least the way it is being implemented in Hawaii.
