Biomass Energy Session Biodiesel: A Simple Answer to a Complex Environmental Degradation Problem and the Energy Crisis Biofuels Biofuels are fuel products created from agriculture sources, including ethanol, biogas/biomass and biodiesel. Biofuels can be produced in two months, are 100% renewable and carbon neutral. Plants that are grown to produce biofuels help reduce CO2 levels and replace oxygen in the atmosphere. Biofuels have a duel benefit for the environment by discontinuing harmful emissions and using materials previously considered waste in need of disposal. Biofuels relieve dependence on oil refined for vehicle fuel. The US could decrease its annual trade deficit by over $53 billion and create 1.43 million jobs in biofuels and supporting services by producing 100% of its fuel domestically.
