Question

What distinguishes biofuels from conventional fossil fuels ?

The correct answer is

Biofuels are derived from renewable sources

Biofuels such as bioethanol, biodiesel and biogas are produced from biomass: crops, plant residues, algae and organic wastes. This biomass can be regrown in a short time, so biofuels come from renewable sources.

Fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and natural gas formed over millions of years and cannot be replenished on a human time scale.

Biofuels generally have a lower, not higher, energy density than fossil fuels. Refining needs and cost vary with the feedstock and technology, so they do not define the difference between the two.

Hence, Biofuels are derived from renewable sources.
