Bio-Fuel Poster

This document discusses biofuels as a promising alternative energy source. It defines biofuels as fuels produced directly or indirectly from organic material, which can be derived from agricultural crops or special energy crops. Biofuels are categorized as primary or secondary, depending on whether the organic material is used in its natural form or is processed. Examples of primary biofuels include firewood and charcoal, while secondary biofuels include ethanol and biodiesel. The document promotes biofuels as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels that can provide benefits like fuel efficiency, reduced pollution, and decreased dependence on foreign oil.
