Biofuel
Biofuels are a source of energy derived from living organisms that have not been extracted from sequestered reserves in the earth and whose natural emissions have a neutral impact on the environment.

How do you convert a Mercedes 200D to bio diesel?
No conversion necessary. Pump it in and go, just like petroleum diesel. The car will run about the same. Biodiesel is, as far as the car is concerned, just diesel. This is not true of vegetable oils, so please do not confuse the two. Biodiesel can be made from vegetable oil, but the process involves heat and chemicals that make the biodiesel very different from the original oil. This is not to say that the fuel is trouble free. Biodiesel often cleans out the fuel tank and lines, and your filter may clog several times on the first tank. I hear recommendations that you use 5-10% biodiesel with the rest regular diesel on the first tank and change the fuel filter after the first tank. Then bump to about 25% biodiesel on the second tank and change the fuel filters. Then 50% on the third tank, and change the filters. Then 100%, if you wish, on the fourth tank. You are less likely to have a clogged filter strand you this way. Carrying a spare set of filters in the trunk at all times during this period would be a wise choice. Biodiesel is also harder on rubber parts. Old fuel lines will begin to leak. You can replace them to start with, or like most, just watch them carefully and replace at the first sign of leakage.
Biofuel can be used in place of regular diesel in most places. B5, B20, and B30 fuels can be used with no modification to existing fuel tanks.
Development of a bio fuel to replace gasoline?
Biofuel is something that should be developed more. It can be made out of many things, including corn and vegetable oil.
Can gmelina arborea can be made as biofuel?
Yes, it can be made as biofuel because the ozone layer will be stolen by ALIENS!
How does biofuel use differ from solar wind and geothermal energy use?
Biofuel has to be burnt. The heat is used to produce steam which turns electricity turbines, in much the same way as fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) power stations. This burning releases carbon dioxide, but this is a recent recycling of the gas, with no carbon footprint.
None of the other three Is burnt.
* Solar uses photovoltaic panels or focussing mirrors.
* Wind uses the motion of the wind, like hydro power.
* Geothermal uses the existing heat from under the earth to produce the steam.
What types of electricity can biomass energy turn into?
AC or DC, whatever you want. It produces the same electricity that you use for your home.
Does biomass use heat to generate electricity?
Yes, you burn biomass to generate electricity, the same as a fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) power station, except without causing global warming.

I have a science project that you had to list biofuels,
They are:
Ethanol-that is Corn,barley and sorghumOther sources of sugar to produce ethanolthey are Potato skins, Rice, Sugar cane, Sugar, beets, Yard clippings, Bark and Switchgrass
