Biofuels
Biofuels are a renewable energy source derived from plants, trees or agricultural waste. Biofuels can be used in lieu of petroleum-based fuels in vehicles and other modes of transportation. Biofuel or energy crops require land and water to grow the energy source, which can impact land-use decisions and availability of land and water for agriculture and ecosystems. Processing of biofuels also consumes water resources.
