Which of the following is not a potential biofuel?
- Gasoline
- Hydrogen Fuel Cells
- Algae Biodiesel
- None of these
Correct Answer

A. Hydrogen Fuel Cells

Explanation

Hydrogen fuel cells are not considered a potential biofuel because they do not rely on organic matter for their production. Biofuels are typically derived from renewable resources such as plants, algae, or organic waste. Hydrogen fuel cells, on the other hand, generate electricity through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, without the need for organic materials. Therefore, hydrogen fuel cells do not fit the definition of a biofuel.

________ can be utilized as a source of biodiesel.
- Animal skin
- Animal teeth
- Animal bone
- Animal fat
Correct Answer

A. Animal fat

Explanation

Animal fat can be utilized as a source of biodiesel because it contains triglycerides, which can be converted into biodiesel through a process called transesterification. Animal fat is a renewable resource that can be obtained from various sources such as livestock and poultry industries, making it a potential alternative to fossil fuels for producing biodiesel. Additionally, using animal fat as a biodiesel source can help reduce waste and provide a more sustainable energy option.

With B20 biodiesel, what does the "20" indicate the percentage of?
- Biodiesel Fuel
- Standard Fuel
- Energy
- None of these
Correct Answer

A. Biodiesel Fuel

Explanation

The "20" in B20 biodiesel indicates the percentage of biodiesel fuel in the mixture. B20 biodiesel is a blend of 20% biodiesel and 80% standard fuel. This means that 20% of the fuel is derived from renewable sources such as vegetable oils or animal fats, while the remaining 80% is made up of traditional petroleum-based fuel.

Ethanol refers to any biofuel made from:
- Grass
- Corn
- Plant Carbohydrates
- Leaves
Correct Answer

A. Plant Carbohydrates

Explanation

Ethanol is a type of biofuel that is made from plant carbohydrates. Plant carbohydrates, such as sugars and starches, can be converted into ethanol through a process called fermentation. This process involves breaking down the carbohydrates into simpler molecules, which are then converted into ethanol by yeast or bacteria. Ethanol produced from plant carbohydrates is a renewable and sustainable source of energy, as it can be derived from various plant sources, such as sugarcane, corn, and other crops.

6.

What's the primary source of biodiesel?
- Soybeans
- Plant Oil
- Animal Fat
- None of these
Correct Answer

A. Plant Oil

Explanation

The primary source of biodiesel is plant oil. Biodiesel is a renewable fuel made from vegetable oils or animal fats. Plant oils, such as soybean oil, are commonly used to produce biodiesel due to their high oil content and availability. The oil is extracted from plants and processed to remove impurities, resulting in a clean and sustainable fuel source. Animal fat can also be used, but plant oils are the most common and widely used primary source for biodiesel production.

When was vegetable oil first known as a fuel source?
- 1900
- 1940
- 1990
- 2000
Correct Answer

A. 1900

Explanation

In 1900, vegetable oil was first known as a fuel source. This means that people started using vegetable oil as a fuel during this time period. It is important to note that vegetable oil has been used for various purposes throughout history, but it was in 1900 when it gained recognition as a viable fuel source.

How many gallons of biodiesel can a 100-acre (40-hectare) algae biodiesel plant potentially produce in a year?
- 100,000 gallons
- 1 million gallons
- 2 million gallons
- 10 million gallons
Correct Answer

A. 10 million gallons

Explanation

A 100-acre algae biodiesel plant has the potential to produce a large amount of biodiesel in a year. The correct answer of 10 million gallons suggests that this plant is highly efficient and can produce a significant quantity of biodiesel. This indicates that the plant is capable of processing a large amount of algae and converting it into biodiesel, making it a valuable and productive resource in the renewable energy industry.

Which is not the criticism of biofuel?
- Increased Food Prices
- More crowded motorways
- Less food for hungry countries
- None of these
Correct Answer

A. More crowded motorways

Explanation

The criticism of biofuel is not related to more crowded motorways. Biofuel is criticized for its potential to increase food prices and contribute to less food availability for hungry countries. However, it does not directly impact the congestion on motorways.

What's the main source of ethanol in Brazil?
- Corn
- Switchgrass
- Sugarcane
- Coconut
Correct Answer

A. Sugarcane

Explanation

The main source of ethanol in Brazil is sugarcane. Brazil is the world's largest producer of sugarcane, and it is primarily used for the production of ethanol. Sugarcane is a highly efficient crop for ethanol production due to its high sugar content, which can be fermented and converted into ethanol. Brazil has been successful in producing ethanol from sugarcane due to its favorable climate and abundant land for cultivation. This has allowed Brazil to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and promote the use of renewable energy sources.
