One of the latest biofuels is algae biofuel, which is produced from algae that can grow rapidly and be processed into fuel. Algae biofuel is considered a promising alternative to traditional fossil fuels due to its high energy content and potential for low environmental impact. Research and development in this area are ongoing to improve production efficiency and scalability.

What is the main chemical in biofuel?

How can biofuel production increase carbon dioxide levels?

Biofuel production does not increase carbon dioxide levels. Biofuel comes from recently grown vegetation of many kinds. When the vegetation grew earlier in the season it took carbon dioxide out of the air. When the biofuel is extracted and burnt that same carbon dioxide is released into the air again. There is no increase of carbon dioxide. Biofuel is carbon neutral. This is the problem with fossil fuels, who took carbon from the air many millions of years ago. Suddenly releasing this now is adding to the greenhouse gas levels and causing global warming.


Is all plant energy converted to biofuel?

No, some energy is used for respiration, anabolic and catabolic metabolism.


Why is ethanol from sugar cane called biofuel but ethanol from ethene not?

Ethanol from sugarcane is known as a biofuel because the ethanol is derived from a biological, renewable source. Burning this releases recently absorbed carbon dioxide so it is part of the carbon cycle. Ethanol from ethene (or ethylene) is typically produced from fossil fuels, namely petroleum, so it is a non-renewable resource. Burning this releases carbon dioxide that was absorbed millions of years ago, so it is all extra. Burning fossil fuels is causing global warming.


What are alternatives to oil and natural gas?
