a type of fuel made from living matter, such as plants or waste, that can be used as a renewable energy source

What is "biofuel"?

Biofuel is a type of fuel made from natural materials like plants, vegetable oils, or animal fats. It is used as an alternative to traditional fuels like gasoline and diesel. Biofuels can be made in different forms, such as biodiesel and ethanol, and they are often mixed with regular fuel to reduce pollution. Since they come from renewable sources, they can help lower dependence on fossil fuels. However, producing biofuels requires land, water, and energy, which can impact the environment and food supply.
