Biofuels can be grown anywhere and have lower carbon emissions as compared to fossil fuels.
2. Biofuels will not run out. Crops can be replenished to meet demand.
3. As biofuels rely heavily on agriculture, this form of energy provides job security for farmers, and keeps the economy growing.]]> 2019-04-08 13:41:17 UTC https://padlet.com/01jnoffsinger/v8uxns0vidzy/wish/349491818 01jnoffsinger https://padlet.com/01jnoffsinger/v8uxns0vidzy/wish/349493125 1. From planting the crops to extracting and converting, producing biofuel can be expensive as it involves vast systems, land and equipment.
2. The processes of extraction and production are known to produce a small amount of emissions.
3. large amounts of fertilizers need to be used every year to meet demand for higher yields  ]]> 2019-04-08 13:43:29 UTC https://padlet.com/01jnoffsinger/v8uxns0vidzy/wish/349493125 01jshell https://padlet.com/01jnoffsinger/v8uxns0vidzy/wish/349493423 National Geographic]]> 2019-04-08 13:44:00 UTC https://padlet.com/01jnoffsinger/v8uxns0vidzy/wish/349493423 01jnoffsinger https://padlet.com/01jnoffsinger/v8uxns0vidzy/wish/349493480 The two most common types of biofuels are ethanol and biodiesel for our transportation needs (cars, trucks, buses, airplanes, and trains). ]]> 2019-04-08 13:44:05 UTC https://padlet.com/01jnoffsinger/v8uxns0vidzy/wish/349493480 01jnoffsinger https://padlet.com/01jnoffsinger/v8uxns0vidzy/wish/349495532 For soybean oil that is converted to biodiesel, the EIA estimates that the cost for 2012/1013 will be about $2.06 per gallon if 50 million gallons are produced about $2.47 per gallon if 200 million gallons are produced. ]]> 2019-04-08 13:47:50 UTC https://padlet.com/01jnoffsinger/v8uxns0vidzy/wish/349495532 01jshell https://padlet.com/01jnoffsinger/v8uxns0vidzy/wish/349495777 Biofuels are fuels produced directly or indirectly from organic material.  They burn when ignited, releasing energy, providing an alternative for fossil fuels. ]]> 2019-04-08 13:48:14 UTC https://padlet.com/01jnoffsinger/v8uxns0vidzy/wish/349495777 01jnoffsinger https://padlet.com/01jnoffsinger/v8uxns0vidzy/wish/349503931
