Do biofuels have a lower carbon footprint?
The simplified life cycle of biofuels starts by the source material (e.g. biomass) absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere, and emitting the absorbed carbon when being burnt as fuel, which is then available for biofuel crops for absorption. According to this simplified life cycle, biofuels should have a net zero effect on CO2 levels. However, the [...]
