Renewable fuels made from plants, animals and their wastes, including biomass used directly, biogas from decaying organic matter and liquid ethanol fuel fermented from sugar crops. A source belongs here when its cited article describes energy taken from organic matter. It excludes fossil fuels, which are also of living origin but formed over geological time, and it is kept separate because these fuels can be grown again within a few seasons.
