Biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, are a growing component of the nation's fuel supply. Ethanol is the primary biofuel in the US martket, distributed as a blend with petroleum gasoline in concentrations ranging from 10% ethanol (E10) to 85% ethanol (E85).

Biodiesel, made from soybean oil or other vegeatble oils or from waste cooking fats, is also available in the US market.

Other compounds including n-propanol, iso-propanol, n-butanol, 2,5-dimethlfuran have been proposed as biofuels, but at present have not...
