Biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, are a growing component of the nation?s fuel supply. Ethanol is the primary biofuel in the US market, 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 vegetable oils or from waste cooking fats, is also available in the US market.

Other compounds including n-propanol, iso-propanol, n-butanol, and 2,5-dimethylfuran have been proposed as biofuels, but at present have...
