Best Answer

Biofuel is any kind of oil (vegetable oil) or organic burnable material (biomass) that is not fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas). Biofuel is renewable because it comes from plants or algae that grew recently, and removed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while growing. When burnt, this carbon dioxide (CO2) is returned to the atmosphere as part of the carbon cycle, making biofuel carbon-neutral. So it does not contribute to global warming.
