- Organic issues of ethanol and esters as biofuels
- Biodiesal is made from plant oils - esters
- In processing the esters the oils are broken down into long - chain carboxylic acids
- Reacted with methanol or ethanol to make esters for biofuels
- Land for biofuel crops could be used for food crops
- Need more land for farming - fuels and food
- Land made by cutting down and burning tropical rainforests
- Destroys habitats of wildlife and contributes to increase level of CO2
- Help as crude oil is going to run out
