To Be Green or Not to Be Green? Biofuels in Question
According to a report from the British government, "using fossil fuel in vehicles is better for the environment than so-called green fuels made from crops." ++ Firstly, because clearing rainforests for biofuel plantations releases carbon stored in trees and soil. ++ And secondly, because most of the European biofuel industry does not meet the European minimum sustainability standards. ++ The European Commission refuses to release the results of its own research on the subject.
