Renewable fuel

Renewable fuel is a special kind of fuel that we make from things that don't run out, like plants or the sun.

Do you know how plants use sunlight, water, and air to grow? Renewable fuels are made from plants like corn or sugarcane, or things from animals like poop! These are things we can grow more of every year so they never run out.

We can also use the power of the sun and wind to make renewable fuel. We have special machines called solar panels and wind turbines that can turn the sun's energy and wind into fuel.

The best thing about renewable fuel is that it is good for the environment. When we burn regular fuel like gasoline, it makes pollution that hurts the air we breathe and the water we drink. But when we use renewable fuel, there is no pollution!

So, renewable fuel is a special kind of fuel that we make from things we can grow more of or from the sun and wind. It's good for the environment because it doesn't make pollution.
