- Researchers have developed a biofuel that is an alcohol-based gasoline alternative made from non-food resources such as algae. The biofuel can be combine with gasoline to increase the energy outputs in automobile engines. How will the use of biofuel change how humans use energy resources? O Biofuel will decrease the use of gasoline in the automobile industry, decreasing the need for nonrenewable energy resources. O Biofuel will decrease the production of algae in the automobile industry, decreasing the need for nonrenewable energy resources. O Biofuel will decrease the amount of fuel for automobiles, increasing the need for renewable energy resources.
