Energy 101 | Biofuels

Biomass is an organic renewable energy source that includes materials such as agriculture and forest residues, energy crops, and algae. Scientists and engineers at the U.S. Department of Energy and its national laboratories are finding new, more efficient ways to convert biomass into biofuels that can take the place of conventional fuels like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. This edition of Energy 101 shows how biomass is broken down and refined into sustainable biofuels via biochemical and thermochemical processes.

    Biomass makes sense for waste products and algae. Growing crops for biofuels isn't worth it.

    While geothermal energy currently faces challenges but in large-scale transmission, its potential for replacing traditional energy sources is undeniable. Its near-ubiquitous presence makes it a sustainable solution, and advancements in technology from countries like New Zealand, Italy, and the USA can pave the way for wider adoption. However, development shouldn't be left solely to profit-driven entities the sensles greed has to stop

    Watching ur video in a few mins. Do u believe biofuels will ever be "good"? Thinking abt starting a biofuel manufacturing business, but not if it's gonna mess up the environemnt....no amount of money is worth that.

    1. not all biodiesel gels up, it depends what it's made of. 2. and who said its $28 a gallon? home brewed biodiesel is 50 cents to a dollar a gallon.

    people are wasting time on this, they will dream, and I dream that this will actually happen, but people don't care, scientists are wasting their time to help the earth when it's not going to happen its sad :(

    give facts. I am interested in becoming a biofuel engineer because I believe I can make an impact, but state evidence why it won't do anything, so that I know not to take classes and extracurriculars related to physics, engineering, biology, and chemistry.
