UK gov't wants a better understanding of biofuels' indirect impacts
Filed under: Biodiesel, Ethanol, Legislation and Policy, UK
Want to know more about the effects of biofuels on the environment, especially all those indirect effects, the ones that aren't obvious and somewhat hard to calculate? Well, so does the UK's Department for Transport , which has asked the UK's Renewable Fuels Agency to prepare a report on this topic by summer. Once the DfT's Ruth Kelly has seen and studied the report, the department will help the government figure out how best to plot out the EU and UK's biofuel goals in the next decade. The call for a study to better understand the impacts was made following recent reports in Science that questioned just how good biofuels are for the environment. More after the jump.
