any thoughts?

"... 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?

And adding need for more carbon energy intensive fertilisers to grow it.
