Local biofuel production boosts Europe's green future
Traffic levels in Europe are constantly growing and so does the pollution. Biofuels could play an important role in helping the EU reduce its emissions of greenhouse gases. This is because unlike traditional fossil fuels they are almost ‘carbon neutral’, only releasing back into the atmosphere carbon dioxide that was removed when the plants they are made from were growing.
