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

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.

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!
