Sustainable biofuel

Sustainable biofuel is fuel made from plants and other materials that can be grown again and used to produce more fuel. To make biofuels, plants such as sugar cane, corn, or switchgrass are grown and their sugary, starchy or fibrous parts are added to water and heated together. This breaks down the material in the plants and makes a liquid that can be burned for energy. Since the plants can be harvested and grown over and over again, it is a renewable energy source that doesn't use up resources like coal and oil. This means that we can have a sustainable source of energy that won't run out and will help protect the environment by not creating dangerous pollutants.
