Exclusive Features - Biofuels
Get the truth about Biofuels...
Biofuels have been hailed as the answer to all our fossil fuel problems. We are encouraged to spend thousands of pounds converting our cars, but is this really to solution to reducing carbon emissions?
In a remarkable reversal of fortune, biofuels have gone from saviour to pariah in just a few short years. Fears over clearing the land for crops, the diversion of food crops for biofuels production, and the capacity to produce enough fuel to act as a viable replacement for fossil fuels have united campaigners in a call for scaling back plans for production. But there is still optimism that a second generation of biofuels could still come to our aid.
Geographical Magazine presents this special report into the turnaround in opinion and understanding of the impacts that biofuels could have on our climate and economy.
We cover all aspects of the debate including:
- The development of the biofuel idea
- What is the appeal of biofuels for governments and producers
- The food or fuel debate – should we reduce crop farming to make way for biofuels?
- Biofuels in Africa
- The future and sustainability of biofuel production
