Bio-Fuels? Yay or nay?
This is a broad topic, but what is your opinion on bio-fuels. I am trying to decide if this is something that should be investigated or if it is a dead end. I don't have a strong, well informed opinion either way at the moment.
My rough thoughts: pro:
maybe a solution for certain transportation modes where battery technology might not quite cut it: shipping, long-haul trucking, aviation
carbon neutral by closing the cycle
potential for carbon capture (storing some of the converted carbon e.g. the char residue and using it to fertilze ground and make it carbon negative)
contra:
conversion of fields that were previously used for food
danger of companies using old forests etc. to convert to biofuels.
it seems to be sometimes pushed by the wrong players (e.g. car manufactures, petroleum companies): this makes me suspicious
