biofueled
Powered by organics
Biofueled means powered by biofuel—fuel derived from organic matter such as plants, agricultural waste, or algae rather than petroleum.
The term describes vehicles, aircraft, or systems that run on these renewable sources: a biofueled bus fleet, biofueled generators.
Also spelled biofuelled in British English.
