Bioethanol today is made mostly from sugar and starch crops. New technologies have also allowed for this fuel to be made with things like trees and grasses. Ethanol can be used as a fuel for cars in its pure form, but it is usually has to be mixed with gasoline. It is usually mixed in there to improve the emissions of the car.
Biodiesel is made from vegetable oils, animal fats or recycled greases. In the US most of it is made from soybean oil or recycled cooking oils but things like animals fats and other kinds of oils can also be used to produce the biodiesel.
