      • wood
      • sugar cane
      • vegetable oils

    • advantages of biofuel
      • supply rate of energy crops can be controlled
      • stored until needed
      • replace fuels e.g. petrol
      • carbon neutral
      • high energy denisty
    • disadvantages of biofuel
      • supply of waste is limited by amount produced by source activity
      • large areas required
      • has a high energy density but is still lower than fossil fuels
