Question 1 • SC332 Environmental Science B

Which of the following statements about biofuels is true?

Answer
A
Biofuels are composed of 100% renewable materials.
B
Algae is the leading source of biofuels.
C
Energy processing from corn biofuels is not energy efficient.
D
Corn is the only source of biofuels.

Explanation

Corn ethanol takes energy to grow, harvest, transport, and process the corn, so its net energy benefit can be relatively small. That makes the statement that processing corn biofuels is not energy efficient the true one. Biofuels can come from many sources, and producing them may also involve nonrenewable energy, so the other statements are too absolute.
