The UK's chief environment scientist has called for a delay to a policy demanding inclusion of biofuels into fuel at pumps across the UK. Professor Robert Watson said ministers should await the results of their inquiry into biofuels' sustainability.
Some scientists think biofuels' carbon benefits may be currently outweighed by negative effects from their production. The Renewable Transport Fuels Obligation (RTFO) is to introduce 2.5% biofuels at the pumps from 1 April.
Professor Robert Watson warned that it would be insane if the RTFO had the opposite effects of the ones intended. He said biofuels policy in the EU and the UK may have run ahead of the science.
Everything has to do with the overconsuming and overproduction. To create biofuels companies will destroy whole areas of nature and then we will end up with a new problem!
