Explain why people are searching ways to use biofuels made from plants to power cars

Flauer [41]3 years ago

Biofuels have been around as long as cars have. At the start of the 20th century, Henry Ford planned to fuel his Model Ts with ethanol, and early diesel engines were shown to run on peanut oil.

But discoveries of huge petroleum deposits kept gasoline and diesel cheap for decades, and biofuels were largely forgotten. However, with the recent rise in oil prices, along with growing concern about global warming caused by carbon dioxide emissions, biofuels have been regaining popularity.

Gasoline and diesel are actually ancient biofuels. But they are known as fossil fuels because they are made from decomposed plants and animals that have been buried in the ground for millions of years. Biofuels are similar, except that they're made from plants grown today.

Because people use too much gas and oil. If they made plant biofuel people wouldn't spend a lot of money and we wouldn't waste oil.

☝︎sorry I didn’t find science.
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
Yes. Lions are predators to grass eating species, so without the limitation of said species, there would be less chance for grass to grow as it is eaten more because the prey species are not killed off.
