Show transcript
A fuel is something that can be used to produce heat or light. Fossil fuels are found deep under Earth's surface and there is a limited amount left. Plants are a sustainable source of fuel as we can keep growing more. Like fossil fuels, biofuels release carbon dioxide on burning. Scientists and engineers investigate which plants are the best ones to grow for biofuels.
