4. UK 'should end biofuel subsidies'           Rank: 71%

subsidies' The government should stop funding biofuels and use the money to halt the destruction of rainforests and peatland instead, a think tank has said. Policy Exchange said the switch would have a bigger impact on climate change because trees and peatland remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The government currently spends ?550m annually on biofuel subsidies. The Conservatives said biofuels "may be damaging the environment and endangering food security". Under the Renewable Transport...

GHG emission due to nitrous oxide emission and indirect land-use change. The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre admitted that emissions due to indirect land use change are ‘worrying’, with the critical indirect effect on tropical peatlands, these emissions can be significant as a result of the EU biofuel policy. However, there is yet no systematic estimate of indirect emissions, and not surprisingly, it is not included in the GHG saving calculation in the Directive. Ignored...

and savanna habitats, and air and water pollution. Analyzing the lifecycle emissions from biofuels, the first study found that carbon released by converting rainforests, peatlands, savannas, or grasslands often far outweighs the carbon savings from biofuels. Conversion of peatland rainforests for oil palm plantations for example, incurs a "carbon debt" of 423 years in Indonesia and Malaysia, while the carbon emission from clearing Amazon rainforest for soybeans takes 319 years of renewable soy...
