Biofuel is any fuel derived from an organic material that is not fossilized like coal or petroleum. Common sources of biofuel grown for the U.S and European markets are corn, soybeans, flaxseed and rapeseed. Biofuel can appear in solid, liquid, or gas form. It is used to produce heat or electricity, or to power machinery using burners, broilers, generators, internal combustion engines, turbines or fuel cells. Biofuel is a renewable energy, but there is some controversy that it is not sustainable due to the harvesting of biomass and the byproducts produced during the burning of biofuels.

Biomass fuels are any plant or animal matter that may be used directly or indirectly as a fuel. In practice these fall into two main categories.
The first is the dependent biomass resources (arising as by-products of other activities; e.g. wood residues and recovered wood waste, straw, poultry litter, forestry residues, livestock slurry, etc.).
The second is the dedicated biomass resources (energy crops grown specifically for fuel; e.g. short rotation tree crops - single stemmed or coppiced, whole crop cereals, etc.).
