Is biofuel renewable?

In: Environmental Issues, Renewable Energy, Biofuel [Edit categories]

Answer:

Biofuel is renewable because the process that generates the fuel is ongoing. Trees can be regrown, sewage can be converted into methane, and oil and alcohol can be generated from various plants. Biofuel takes carbon dioxide from the air as the original vegetation grows, and returns it when burnt, so it has a neutral carbon footprint. It adds no greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
