“Biofuels production requires non-renewable resources such as land, water, fertilisers - which are often produced from petrochemicals that are soil derived. So, when you count emissions from all that, for example even water pumping, if you are using electric or a diesel motor, involves emissions.”

“If biofuels are to be used in road transport, it’s really critical that we are investing in biofuels with the lowest carbon footprint. So, those are the advanced biofuel pathways - the second generation advanced biofuel pathways - rather than the crop-based biofuel pathways that compete with land that have very significant upstream emission impacts.”
