The trouble with biofuels

We must remember, though, that biomass from waste will only meet a tiny proportion of our energy demand – there is little chance of it having any measurable impact on our greenhouse gas emissions.

They are putting a global blueprint into action which is threatening local communities, biodiversity, water supplies, rainforest and the climate across the globe.
