Biofuels vs Fossil Fuels

Similarities

  • Both can be used to generate electricity
  • Biofuels and fossil fuels release waste when combusted
  • Both release carbon dioxide when used

Differences

  • Fossil fuels are non-renewable; biofuels are renewable.
  • Biofuels are carbon neutral, so they don't contribute to global warming, unlike fossil fuels
  • Biofuels- methane gas, wood, alcohol fuels, nutshells
  • Fossil fuels- coal, oil, natural gas

Overall comparison

Biofuels, unlike fossil fuels, are a renewable energy source. They are also carbon neutral due to the carbon dioxide that they take in when they are growing. Fossil fuels are not carbon neutral and contribute to global warming. However, they do have some similarities, such as both being used to generate electricity, and both releasing waste when used to do so.
