Answer 1

Fuels‌ ‌obtained‌ ‌from‌ ‌cultivation‌ ‌of‌ ‌living‌ ‌matter‌ ‌or‌ ‌plants‌ ‌are‌ ‌termed‌ ‌ad‌ ‌biofuels.‌

• Plants‌ ‌like‌ ‌rapeseed,‌ ‌switch‌ ‌grass,‌ ‌jatropha,‌ ‌soybean,‌ ‌plant‌ ‌oil,‌ ‌corn‌ ‌and‌ ‌sugarcane‌ ‌are‌ ‌cultivated‌ ‌to‌ ‌obtain‌ ‌biofuels‌ ‌and‌ ‌are‌ ‌regarded‌ ‌as‌ ‌biofuel‌ ‌crops.‌ ‌ ‌
• This‌ ‌method‌ ‌of‌ ‌producing‌ ‌fuel‌ ‌from‌ ‌plants‌ ‌or‌ ‌other‌ ‌sources‌ ‌helps‌ ‌to‌ ‌decrease‌ ‌the‌ ‌overall‌ ‌dependency‌ ‌on‌ ‌fossil‌ ‌fuels‌ ‌especially‌ ‌the‌ ‌petroleum‌ ‌products,‌ ‌thereby‌ ‌helping‌ ‌to‌ ‌reduce‌ ‌the‌ ‌atmospheric‌ ‌pollution.‌ ‌
