Biofuels is aimed primarily at Key Stage 4 chemistry teachers. The emphasis is on creating opportunities for students to engage with and learn about this relevant topic through practical work.

The book provides detailed information about biofuels, which would be valuable to non-specialist and specialist chemistry teachers alike. Holyman includes helpful, concise details about the student activities along with teacher notes, learning objectives, lists of resources and points to note.
