Bioenergy and Biofuels
Bioenergy is energy derived from organic materials, such as plants and animal waste. It can be converted into biofuels, which are renewable alternatives to fossil fuels. Common biofuels include ethanol, made from fermented crops like corn, and biodiesel, produced from vegetable oils or animal fats. These biofuels can power vehicles and generate electricity, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. Bioenergy also promotes sustainable agricultural practices by utilizing agricultural residues and waste, turning them into valuable energy resources while supporting rural economies.
