  1. #Biomass is organic matter derived from plants and animals—such as wood, agricultural crops, and waste—that can be burned directly for heat or converted into #Renewable #Biofuels and #Biogas.

  2. Does clearing forests in places like #Papua #Indonesia, or clearing grasslands in #Cerrado #Brazil actually help create “sustainable” transport fuel? The ecological consequences often outweigh any tailpipe emission savings. For Semafor, I explore the massive risks and hidden costs of #BigOil’s aggressive pivot to #Biofuels.

  3. We need to come up with a range of regenerative ways to produce plant materials for manufacturing and bio-fuels. Ways that sink atmosphpheric carbon into soils, and mulch the top of them to help keep them moist, mine minerals from the subsoil and deposit them into topsoil, and so on. Things like leguminous plants grown as cover crops in the off season, whose fruit, fibre, or both can be harvested, after they add nitrogen to the soil.
