benefits of biofuels

Biofuels are liquid fuels made from plants instead of petroleum. Biodiesel and ethanol are non-toxic, biodegradable, clean burning, and road tested replacements for diesel and gasoline. The use of pure or blended biofuels reduces toxic air emissions, greenhouse gas buildup, and dependence on imported oil while supporting local agricultural economies. Biofuel use is cost-effective due to reduced operating and maintenance costs, financial incentives, positive marketing potential and finite petroleum supplies.
