Biofuels: Gas or liquid fuel made from plants, such as sugar cane, maize, palm oil or flax. Unlike petroleum, they are a renewable source of energy and do not contribute to climate change, since the carbon dioxide produced when they are burnt is cancelled out by the carbon dioxide they take in when growing. However, the UK could never grow enough biofuels to meet its needs, and many imported biofuels lead to carbon dioxide emissions from their transport as well as causing deforestation.
