Fossil fuels, including petroleum, coal, natural gas, and others, are essentially organic materials that have decomposed. Under pressure, heat, and time, and in an anaerobic, oxygen-free, environment, both animal and plant materials eventually are converted into high-carbon compounds that, for human beings anyway, make great hydrocarbon [HC] fuels. Carbon dioxide [CO2] was sequestered from the […]

The amount of biomass from plants used for biofuel is highly dependable on their tolerance to drought. With climate warming at alarming rates, more and more scientists are urged to look for alternative species that can survive in areas, where irrigation is limited. Nevertheless, large areas across the U.S. are still suitable for growing biofuel […]
