'British model' produces greener biofuels

摘要

The "British Model" of biofuel production yields genuine greenhouse gas savings, unlike biofuels produced elsewhere in the world where there are fewer environmental safeguards, the English National Farmers' Union (NFU) claimed this week. The union took the opportunity of national Biofuels Day - when the Renewable Transport Fuels Obligation (RTFO) was introduced, requiring all fuel companies to replace 2.5 per cent of their fossil fuel sales with biofuels - to highlight the environmental requirements under which British biofuel crop producers operate.
