Can biofuel compete with fossil fuel? Can biofuel really replace fossil fuel? As oil prices rise, biofuels become competitive Profits can be made on co-products Proportionate primary research funding Venture capital startup investments Biofuel refining & distribution infrastructures Formulate uniform standards & testing Negotiate carbon trade credit sanction Using Biofuel replace fossil fuel with renewable energy Agriculture Transportation Home heating Food processing & cooking Hydrogen production Electric generation Other useful chemicals The Key to Energy Independence click to continue click to continue The Way to Reverse Global Warming photosynthesis to sequester carbon The Way to Reverse Global Heating
