1. Bio-fuels are fuels make from biodegradable products such as Corn, Sugar, etc to make fuel like ethanol..
2. Fuel made by vegetables or other kind og biological agent. You have Ethanol made by SugarCane and reality running in BRazil. You have Ethanol experiences about corn and other vegetables. You have also Biodiesel, made by PalmTree coconut (dende) oil (Brazil) and other related kind of oils. They use biofuels as a substitute to Diesel and Unleaded (made by pretroleum industrialization - subproducts - Hydocarbonet). It requires not only the fuel, but also specific engine due the combustion special requirements to each component. In Brazil, Volkswagen made is sold normally one serie of car that works with Ethanol and Gas (each or both), without concern.
