A biofuel is a fuel that is produced through contemporary biological processes, such as agriculture and anaerobic digestion, rather than a fuel produced by geological processes such as those involved in the formation of fossil fuels, such as coal and petroleum, from prehistoric biological matter.

Biofuels can be derived directly from plants, or indirectly from agricultural, commercial, domestic, and/or industrial wastes.

Renewable biofuels generally involve contemporary carbon fixation, such as those that occur in plants or microalgae through the process of photosynthesis.

Other renewable biofuels are made through the use or conversion of biomass (referring to recently living organisms, most often referring to plants or plant-derived materials).

This biomass can be converted to convenient energy-containing substances in three different ways: thermal conversion, chemical conversion, and biochemical conversion.

This biomass conversion can result in fuel in solid, liquid, or gas form.

This new biomass can also be used directly for biofuels.

Ethanol, also called alcohol, ethyl alcohol, and drinking alcohol, is the principal type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages.

It is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid with a slight characteristic odor.

Its chemical formula is, which can be written also as -- or - (an ethyl group linked to a hydroxyl group), and is often abbreviated as EtOH.

Corn oil (maize oil) is oil extracted from the germ of corn (maize).

Its main use is in cooking, where its high smoke point makes refined corn oil a valuable frying oil.

It is also a key ingredient in some margarines.

Corn oil is generally less expensive than most other types of vegetable oils.

One bushel of corn contains 1.55 pounds of corn oil (2.8% by weight).

Corn agronomists have developed high-oil varieties; however, these varieties tend to show lower field yields, so they are not universally accepted by growers.

Sustainable energy is energy that is consumed at insignificant rates compared to its supply and with manageable collateral effects, especially environmental effects.

Another common definition of sustainable energy is an energy system that serves the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.

The organizing principle for sustainability is sustainable development, which includes the four interconnected domains: ecology, economics, politics and culture.

Sustainability science is the study of sustainable development and environmental science.

The energy industry is the totality of all of the industries involved in the production and sale of energy, including fuel extraction, manufacturing, refining and distribution.

Modern society consumes large amounts of fuel, and the energy industry is a crucial part of the infrastructure and maintenance of society in almost all countries.
