What you need to know about biofuel
Biofuel is the energy-producing fuel that is made through the process of biocarbon fixation. Biofuel is hydrocarbon that is obtained from a living organism. What is biofuel? Biofuel is designed to work as an alternative fuel to gasoline, fossil fuel and diesel. While fossil fuel is made from animals and plants that died over centuries ago, biofuel is made from plants that have been harvested. ...

Environmental Regulations Kindle the Southeast Asian Automotive Biofuels Market, Finds Frost & Sullivan
Sourced from agricultural products such as plant-based oils, animal fats and ethanol from naturally occurring sugar sources, biofuels are renewable chemicals and an environment-friendly alternative to crude oil-based fuels. Biodiesels emit fewer pollutants such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons, which conventional fuels such as petrol and diesel release in ...
