"... delighted researchers, who said it was proving as efficient as fossil
fuel while emitting less than half as much carbon dioxide."

Now that's a neat trick, I guess they really mean "less than half as much
*fossil* carbon dioxide".


Yup, that set my bull**** detector ringing as well!

While not a bad idea, it strikes me there is only a limited amount of
the stuff to go about about.

Not sure I follow the: "Andrew Robertson, of Clean Energy Consultancy,
said: "It’s preferable to use biofuel as a heating fuel rather than for
transport.

Erm, so what? Surely the point is you are displacing fossil carbon
emissions wherever you use it?
