Current biofuels policies are unethical, says report

2011-04-13

Current UK and European policies on biofuels encourage unethical practices, says a report by the Nuffield Council on Bioethics today following an 18-month inquiry. Policies such as the European Renewable Energy Directive are particularly weak when it comes to protecting the environment, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and avoiding human rights violations in developing countries. They also include few incentives for the development of new biofuel technologies that could help avoid these problems. "Biofuels are one of the only renewable alternatives we have for transport ...

Natural gas from shale contributes to global warming

2011-04-13

Natural gas extracted from shale formations has a greater greenhouse gas footprint - in the form of methane emissions - than conventional gas, oil and coal over a 20 year period.

Their work (1) is published online in Springer's journal, Climatic Change Letters (2). Shale gas* has become an increasingly important source of natural gas in the United States over the past decade.

Greenhouse gases from forest soils
