• Advantages: it doesn%26#039;t pollute and it%26#039;s renewable.
  
  Disadvantages: it takes more energy to make than it produces, and would require converting land producing food to land producing %26quot;energy%26quot;
• bio fuel is basically a mixture of a petroleum product and a plant oil
• a tree is a simple type of bio fuel when it is used as fire wood aka bio mass
  
  methanol is made from corn and used in petrol cars
  
  the diesel engine was originally run on peanut oil
  
  bio fuel is carbon neutral, a plant that is used to create fuel absorbs carbon in respiration and it caused growth when it is harvested and burnt as fuel it produces carbon which is absorbed by the plants - its cyclic
  
  bio fuel does create more carbon in its harvesting though so does drilling for oil
  
  one original plan for biodiesel for 3rd world countries was to produce two crops one for food the other for oil to harvest the food it would have made them self sufficent once they had the machinery
