What you'll learn

Biofuels are a renewable energy source, made from organic matter or wastes, that can play a valuable role in reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
biofuel is a fuel that is produced through contemporary processes from biomass, rather than a fuel produced by
the very slow geological processes involved in the formation of fossil fuels, such as oBioButanol and Ethanol would be taught to the students during this course
Biofuels are one of the largest sources of renewable energy in use today.
