Scientists: biofuels could be dangerous for the environment than gasoline – External Economic Relations

American scientists from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, based on a computer model reproduced the results of the use of biofuels based on corn silage. As it turned out, the damage from these fuels is much greater than from the usual gasoline already as having a negative impact on the balance of carbon dioxide in nature. His research biologists published in Nature Climate Change.

During research activities, experts found that emissions from “environmentally friendly” biofuels 7% higher from gasoline. And it directly affect emissions to the greenhouse effect. At the same time removing the corn crop residues from the soil in large quantities leads to its erosion.

In UN biofuel production from corn in the U.S. is not welcome. Experts of the organization said that the use of culture for the production of ethanol affects the rise in grain prices worldwide, leads to drought, as well as a negative impact on the environment.
