*Bio-diesel
*Bio-gas
===Power===
: 1. [[Biofuel]] is burned in a furnace.
: 2. The combustion of [[biofuel]] heats water in a boiler.
: 3. The water turns into steam and rushes down pipes.
: 4. The steam turns a turbine.
: 5. The turbine spins a generator.
: 6. The generator makes electricity.
====Advantages====
*Extremely reliable.
*When growing fuels Carbon dioxide is taken out of the atmosphere by the plants.
*Can be ‘carbon neutral’ as the same amount of Carbon Dioxide is taken out of the [[Earth's Atmosphere|atmosphere]] to grow the [[biofuel]] as it put back into the [Earth's Atmosphere|atmosphere]] by burning them.
====Disadvantages====
*Cost of fuels is high.
*Large areas of land must be used to grow the fuel (this can mean cutting down forests for land).
*Burning the fuels produces carbon dioxide and if fuels are burned quicker than they can be grown then the produce more pollution.
