Biofuel Utilization

http://www1.eere.energy.gov/biomass/pdfs/biofuel_utilization.pdf

These three activities introduce students to biofuel utilization and will help students understand that using biomass for energy production is much more than just burning wood. There is also material on the production of biodiesel fuels, which can be produced from waste cooking oils. The activities are:

* Can nuts be used as a fuel source?
* Can biodiesel reduce pollution?
* Can a model Stirling engine be powered by biodiesel?
