Biofuels vs. Fossil Fuels A biofuel is any fuel source that’s made from biological materials. The two most common kinds of biofuels right now are both gasoline alternatives: ethanol and biodiesel. Ethanol is ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH). It's also known as grain alcohol because it’s often made from the distillation of grain crops like corn or soybeans.

Biofuels - At What Cost? This GSI report finds that the Australian government spent A$ 95 million on supporting biofuel production and consumption in 2006-07. That cost could grow to several hundred million dollars a year by the end of the decade if planned new ethanol and biodiesel capacity comes on-line over the next two years.

Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) To Add Earnings Power For Biofuels Producers LCFS can potentially drive share price appreciation of 120%, 30% and 160%, from current levels, for REGI, FF, and SYNM, respectively. Low-carbon ethanol producers such as PEIX and AMTX, with production in California, will also see EBITDA/gal increases from 7c/gal to 20c/gal, a 185% increase from current levels.

Biofuels For Kids Biofuels are designed to replace gasoline, diesel fuel and coal, which are called “fossil fuels” because they are made from animals and plants that died millions of years ago. Biofuels are made mostly from plants that have just been harvested. There are three main types of biofuel. Ethanol, biodiesel, and biojet fuel.Ethanol is used in engines that burn gasoline, like most cars. Biodiesel is used in engines that burn diesel fuel, like large trucks and tractors.Biojet fuel is used in planes.thanol, biodiesel, and biojet fuel. Ethanol is used in engines that burn gasoline, like most cars. Biodiesel is used in engines that burn diesel fuel, like large trucks and tractors. Biojet fuel is used in planes.

That cost could grow to several hundred million dollars a year by the end of the decade if planned new ethanol and biodiesel capacity comes on-line over the next two years.he report finds that biofuels are an extremely high-cost means for reducing greenhouse-gas emissions. Under optimistic projections, it costs some $500 in federal and state subsidies to reduce one metric ton of CO2-equivalent through the production and use of corn-based ethanol.

Waste coffee grounds offer new source of biodiesel fuel In the new study, Mano Misra, Susanta Mohapatra, and Narasimharao Kondamudi note that the major barrier to wider use of biodiesel fuel is lack of a low-cost, high quality source, or feedstock, for producing that new energy source. Spent coffee grounds contain between 11 and 20 percent oil by weight. That’s about as much as traditional biodiesel feedstocks such as rapeseed, palm, and soybean oil.

A Biofuel Process to Replace All Fossil Fuels Joule Biotechnologies grows genetically engineered microorganisms in specially designed photobioreactors. The microorganisms use energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into ethanol or hydrocarbon fuels (such as diesel or components of gasoline).f the new process, which has been demonstrated in the laboratory, works as well on a large scale as Joule Biotechnologies expects, it would be a marked change for the biofuel industry.

Biofuels First-generation biofuels include such things as vegetable oil, biodiesel, ethanol, and methanol. Ethanol and methanol are very strong alcohols made from sugar, wheat, or corn in a process similar to brewing.o biofuels are (at least in theory) carbon neutral: growing a tree (or any other plant) and then burning it as a biofuel doesn't add any carbon dioxide to the atmosphere or make global warming any worse.

Biofuels vs. Fossil Fuels The U.S. currently produces 9.2 billion gallons of ethanol a year and consumes 9.6 billion gallons. Biodiesel is a biofuel made from plant-or animal-based fats and can run in a regular diesel engine. In fact, Rudolf Diesel’s original prototype engine ran on peanut oil.

Biofuel A biofuel is a fuel that is produced through contemporary biological processes, such as agriculture and anaerobic digestion, rather than a fuel produced by geological processes such as those involved in the formation of fossil fuels, such as coal and petroleum, from prehistoric biological matter.
