Bio fuels

• They help with transportation and car needs • Ethanol & Biodiesel are the two most common

bio fuels , • Ethanol : is an alcohol • Biodiesel : is an liquid form of biofuel

Algae

• This produces 15 times more bio fuels than other plant & is a lot cleaner and quicker

• & it grows faster with carbon dioxide added which is the number 1 greenhouse gas so there is another bonus of switching to this
