| Domain | Definition | ||
| Geology | A gaseous, liquid, or solid fuel that is rendered from raw biological material (plants, sewage, dry waste, etc.) through combustion or fermentation. (references) | ||
| Health | Biofuels are, as the name implies, renewable energy sources from living things; they are to be distinguished from fossil fuels which are also of biological origin but which are non-renew able. (references) | ||
| Weather | Gas or liquid fuel made from plant material (biomass). Includes wood, wood waste, wood liquors, peat, railroad ties, wood sludge, spent sulfite liquors, agricultural waste, straw, tires, fish oils, tall oil, sludge waste, waste alcohol, municipal solid waste, landfill gases, other waste, and ethanol blended into motor gasoline.

| Wikipedic | Biofuel is any fuel that derives from biomass — recently living organisms or their metabolic byproducts, such as manure from cows. It is a renewable energy source, unlike other natural resources such as petroleum, coal and nuclear fuels. The carbon in biofuels was recently extracted from atmospheric carbon dioxide by growing plants, so burning it does not result in a net increase of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere. As a result, biofuels are seen by many as a way to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by using them to replace non renewable sources of energy. (references) | ||
