Biofuel
Biofuel is a liquid fuel from Voluminous Energy. It is burned in the Combustion Generator and the Gas Furnace, and can fuel multitools in the Tooling Station.
This page describes Voluminous Energy 0.5 (Alpha 2).

As a fuel
Combustion Generator
Biofuel is rated at 72 FE/t. The Combustion Generator burns 250 mB at a time for 1,600 ticks, so a bucket lasts 6,400 ticks. The oxidizer multiplies the output:
| Oxidizer | FE/t | FE per bucket of Biofuel |
|---|---|---|
| Compressed Air (uses 250 mB per burn) | 72 | 460,800 |
| Oxygen (uses 125 mB per burn) | 144 | 921,600 |
| Dinitrogen Tetroxide (uses 25 mB per burn) | 288 | 1,843,200 |
Gas Furnace
In the Gas Furnace, 250 mB of Biofuel lasts 7,200 ticks, enough to smelt 36 items (144 items per bucket) without an upgrade.
