UK Renewable Fuels Agency Releases Review of the Indirect Effects of Biofuels

RFA Review of the Indirect Effects of Biofuels: “On 21 February 2008 Secretary of State for TransportRuth Kelly invited the Renewable Fuels Agency to undertake a Review of the Indirect Effects of Biofuels. This was done in the light of new evidence suggesting that an increasing demand for biofuels might indirectly cause carbon emissions because of land use change, and concerns that demand for biofuels may be driving food insecurity by causing food commodity price increases.”
