“Decarbonization,” Pure unadulterated crap.
Why does biofuel not emit carbon? Hint: It does.
Burning enough biofuel to produce one megajoule of energy gives off the equivalent of 39g of CO2, whereas for fossil fuels that figure is 75.1g. This does not take into account the total carbon used to grow, fertilize, convert, and transport the plant based biofuel.
When all of the footprints are added up, biofuel produces 1.8 times the carbon emissions as hydrocarbon fuel (I refuse to call it fossil fuel).
But, please. Don’t tell anybody. It will mess up their fantasy and cut off their gravy train. And they better not complain about not enough farmland and starving populations.
