The production of some bio-fuels causes enough emissions to offset benefits of using the fuel

Another interesting report in Chemistry World this month shows that some types of biofuels, or some methods of producing and transporting various bio-fuels may very well cause close the same amount of greenhouse gas emissions as standard energy sources. The article goes into how one particular process in creating a certain bio-fuel lets off high amounts of Nitrous Oxide, which is another greenhouse gas more than 300 times more potent than Carbon Dioxide, which is the general greenhouse gas that most countries are trying to prevent.

What does this mean? While it is still a great movement for various countries and companies to try to "go green", if not done right, it could end up not helping anything at all. Though that does not mean they should give up, but just make sure they're not making more pollution in producing fuels that would produce less pollution.
