STEM Careers Coalition: Fuel for the Future
Which biofuel, when combined with petroleum, may have the most potential to fuel future travel and transportation?

Students will discover how biofuels combined with petroleum can contribute to sustainable travel and transportation. They will analyze the environmental and economic pros & cons of various biofuel sources to decide which would best support the future of travel.

how biofuels are created
and how they are used.
• Determine the positive and
negative impacts of one
biofuel source.
• Compare and contrast this
biofuel source with other
possible sources.
• Develop and revise a
recommendation that justifies
the biofuel source that could
best fuel sustainable and
economical travel.
