The term ‘biofuel‘ is a type of fuel that is derived immediately from living matter (like corn ethanol). Biofuels are useful, sustainable resources that make a good alternative to fossil fuels (like petroleum). Historically, they have been manufactured from food crops, e.g., corn, sugarcane, palm oil, cottonseed, sunflowers, wheat and soybeans. Biofuels are carbon neutral
