  10. What is biofuel? • Biofuel is fuel which has been made from living things or their by-products. • Examples are cow-dung and maize • In the UK, the main biofuel crops will probably be wheat, sugar beet and rapeseed – which produces oil

  11. Who produces biofuel? • The EU used to produce too much food • Farmers are now paid NOT to grow things • The land they don’t grow things on is called ‘Set aside’ land.

  12. Bio Fool • Most diesel car engines will run on a mixture of 20% biofuel and 80% diesel. • Rudolph says ‘If we grow rapeseed on ‘set aside’ land in the UK, we will be able to provide 20% of all the diesel used for road transport’. • Explain to Rudolph why his idea won’t work!
