Biodiesel is the Best
Biodiesel is the most sustainable liquid fuel there is. In addition to direct GHG reduction in excess of 85% compared to average petroleum diesel, biodiesel also reduces air pollutants such as carbon monoxide, polycyclic aromatic hyrdrocarbons and smog-forming particulate matter. Biodiesel is nontoxic and biodegradable. Biodiesel reduces hazardous waste production by 96% compared to fossil fuels.
Many outdated hypotheses about indirect land use are faulty, because they failed to adequately include the contribution of valuable, nutritious protein as a coproduct of biodiesel production. There is a big difference between 150 scientists agreeing that the issue needs study and concluding the biofuels are worse than petroleum. Science is indeed vindicating biodiesel. The United State Environmental Protection Agency concluded through a lengthy process including expert and public review that biodiesel reduces GHG emissions enough to be called ???Advanced Biofuel???. Even by including international indirect emissions, science concluded that biodiesel is significantly better than petroleum diesel.
If the study now being launched in Europe is legitimate, it will include the contribution of protein to the food supply, and biodiesel will be recognized as a necessity for reducing greenhouse gases.
