Question

Write two advantages and two disadvantages of fuels made from plants.

Answer

Advantages:

  • They are renewable so they won't run out; They don't produce as much pollution as oil and gas when they are burned.

Disadvantages:

  • They aren't as efficient as oil and gas, so we have to produce more of them: Marking them uses a lot of water and energy at the moment.
