Biofuels Program – School of Trades, Technology, Sustainability and Professional Studies

Biofuels are a sustainable energy source made from organic materials or recycled oils converted into liquid fuels. The most common types of biofuels are ethanol; an alcohol made from plant biomass, and biodiesel; a combination of alcohol and oil or fat. An exciting new resource for biofuels is algae, which is well-suited to growing here in the Southwest.
