Video features AI generated orangutans in front of burning petrol stations - if they could speak they would say they DO NOT want palm oil biofuel destroying their home DYK that “Sustainable” Biofuel (#SAF) used in planes/cars is blatant #palmoil#greenwashing? Emissions from palm-oil #biofuels are 3x higher than fossil fuels! Say NO to palm oil trash, sign the petition! #Boycottpalmoil#Boycott4Wildlife@palmoildetecthttps://wp.me/pcFhgU-75Y
Unfortunately, the #EU declared #biofuels to be carbon-neutral, triggering a surge in wood use [2] & many professed environmentalists promote burning wood because they have a personal attachment to the activity
Tell me, what's wrong with this move by UK Govt? It looks good to me.
Since the giftlink may expire, it's a story about promoting biofuels for houses currently with oil boilers* instead of a hard mandate to install replacement heat pumps instead.

With the rise in global demand for staple crop products projected to substantially increase by 2050 due to population growth, rising per capita income, and the growing use of biofuels, it is necessary to adopt sustainable agricultural intensification practices in existing croplands to meet this demand. However, estimation...
EPA Approved a Fuel Ingredient Even Though It Could Cause #Cancer in Virtually Every Person Exposed Over a Lifetime
An #EPA document shows that a new #Chevron#fuel ingredient has a lifetime cancer risk more than 1 million times higher than what the agency usually finds acceptable — even greater than another Chevron fuel’s sky-high risk disclosed earlier this year.
@ProPublica Though the #EPA's approval may seem rash, they argue that the cancer risks were significantly overestimated. Perhaps they’re weighing the environmental benefits of #Biofuels? The situation demands more insight, not immediate condemnation. #Chevron
Several kinds of grasses and woody shrubs, such as poplar and willow, have undergone U.S. testing for years to see if they can achieve high productivity as cellulose-based liquid biofuels for cutting greenhouse gas emissions in the global transportation sector. Some of these grasses also would have value as cover crops.
Creating liquid biofuels from human waste shows promise as a way to meet one of alternative energy’s greatest challenges: reducing the transportation sector’s heavy carbon footprint. The good news is there is a steady supply stream where waste is treated. Humanity produces millions of tons of sewage sludge annually via wastewater treatment.
"... the first long distance coach running on biogas will operate the Stockholm-Oslo route. Powered by liquid biogas (LBG), the coach will reduce climate impact and contribute to a fossil-free transport between the two Nordic capitals."
Artificial intelligence can now estimate rice yields, according to new study (phys.org)
