A blog post explaining the leaked data on palm biodiesel. The blogger from Guardian Network said that “There are good biofuels and bad biofuels and the worst are as filthy as the foulest fossil fuels. But the good biofuels are essential to tackling climate change”
What do you think? As far I know, the palm biodiesel mostly come from the southern countries, such Malaysia and Indonesia. The palm has higher productivity to produce oil per hectare. And the leaked data is affiliated with Europe country–a region with the “smarter” consumers (though isn’t the biggest one) and lower productivity of biodiesel raw materials.
Is it relevant to link with the trade war?
It is obvious that for a biofuel to be useful in cutting the emissions driving global warming it needs to have a smaller carbon footprint than regular fuel from crude oil. The leaked biofuel numbers are…credible. — Damian Carrington
