The Biofuels Fallacy
Sometimes policy heads off in entirely the wrong direction on climate change and biofuels looks like it’s a classic example of this.
Yes it is true that growing crops especially for fuel is carbon neutral as the CO2 they take in while they grow cancels out the CO2 they produce when they are burned for energy and so they are better in pure CO2 terms than fossil fuels.
But that’s where the benefits end.
