Renewable Energy


Biofuel can be defined as a solid, liquid or gaseous substance that can act as a fuel derived from a recently dead biological material. Fossil fuels are derived from long dead biological material, thus making them very different.
One type of biofuel is a solid biofuel. It has been long used to heat a home, and also in cooking, but recently discovered to have a reduction effect in CO2 emissions as oposed to a boiler. Such examples of solid biofuels are woodchips, straw, and wood pellets, being that they have been chopped from a recently living biological material, a tree.
Biowaste is the waste of biological items. Such biowaste can be found in landfills and also in your own home. Cooking oil, such as USED peanut oil and vegetable oil, can be filtered and later used as an alternative fuel for specially made cars. By doing this, people can reduce the toxic emissions that regular gas powered cars make.
Biogases are gaseous substances that can are produced as a byproduct of anaerobic digestion, which is the process of which an organism decomposes a material. You can find a less cleaner version in landfills because all the items are rotting and being decomposed.
These types of fuels serve for the better of the world, especially since we are going through a big climate change.
