**1.1**
Define the information problem---summery

For us to complete this project, we must create a company that makes an alternative energy source, and with every company there comes with a logo, so we are expected to design one. We are required to create an invention that runs on that energy source. Our research will be recorded on this page. We must bookmark at least 20 websites on Diigo.

**1.2**
Identify the information you need in order to complete the task

**Questions **

**1 Q: Why would you use Bio-Fuel instead of other fuels, like gasoline? ** **1A: One reason you would use Bio-Fuels instead of gas is because it sends out 50% less CO** **2 and is renewable. **

**2 Q: Why are bio fuels better for the environment? ** **2A: Because they send out no greenhouse gases when made into Hydrogen fuel.**

So they do not decrease, or add to the total amount of co2, just keep it the same.**

<span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;">**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">6 Q: How can bio fuels come from plants? ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">**6A: Plants store energy from photosynthesis, and when you convert plants into energy, the stored energy becomes a bio fuel.**

<span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;">**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">7 Q: Why are bio fuels a renewable energy source? ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">**7A: Renewable energy sources does not run out like oil and coal, which cannot reproduce or be used with out running out, where bio fuels and bio mass can be grown and reproduced easily, just by burning them.**

<span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;">**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">8 Q: Why do bio fuels release pollutants, although they are made from good materials? ** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**8A: All things will release at least a little CO** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 8pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**2** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**, so it is only natural for bio fuels to pollute the air, even a tiny bit will count.**

<span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;">**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">9 Q: Could bio fuels someday be used more than gasoline, without destroying our environment? ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">**A9: Yes, because the use of cars and vehicles could be reduced, but still use bio fuels. This way, it would not hurt the environment as much. And people would get healthier from not using cars as much, and biking or walking more.**

<span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;">**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">10 Q: Could someday all cars run on bio fuels? ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">**10A: probably not, due to the price of bio fuel, unless some how every one on the planet became super rich and ignorant of how much they spend.** back to top

3.1
Locate sources

Answers.com -[] Wikipedia.org - []

3.2
Find information within sources

We found the information by going to available websites via Google. We found most of our answers in these websites, then we still had to find the rest of our answers. We had to go to the websites above to finish our research.

4.1
Engage the source

[] -this website told us the basics about biomass. [] -this one told us more detailed things about biofuels. [] []
