you want to fly a Boeing 747 plane the 350 kilometres from London to Amsterdam on coconut biofuel, you will need to grow about 3 million coconuts! There is another problem too people may destroy forests to grow plants for biofuel. In Brazil, cars and buses have used a fuel called bioethanol for years. Bioethanol is great because we make it from the waste parts of plants that we already grow for food Most Brazilian bioethanol is made from sugar cane, the tall plant that we grow for sugar. The sugar cane is broken up in machines, and the liquid is taken to make sugar. The rest of the plant is turned into paper or used to make bioethanol.
