Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the release of a draft document entitled Biofuels and the Environment: Third Triennial Report to Congress (External Review Draft) for public comment. Bergeson and Carla N. On January 3, 2023, the U.S.
Biofuels can play a productive role when used at a sustainable level. Source EIA Monthly Biofuels Capacity and Feedstocks Update ) Using more oils and fats for fuel instead of food and animal feed has consequences for competing users of these products and for the global agricultural system.

The EPA proposes increasing the amount of biofuels in the nation’s energy supply through 2025. Biofuels Targets Rise. The EPA is proposing to increase the amount of ethanol and other biofuels in the nation’s energy supply through 2025, when the target will be 10 percent larger than today. The Rundown.

Originally, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 required CARB to develop a scoping plan, to be updated every five years, that describes the approach California will take to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions to achieve the goal of reducing emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.
Assembly Bill (AB) 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32), requires CARB to develop and update every five years a scoping plan that describes the approach California will take to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to achieve the goal of reducing emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.
The “climate policies” the authors refer to are ones that would make energy more expensive and result in more bioenergy use (the burning of biofuels and biomass), which in turn would increase land scarcity and drive up food costs. The IPCC comes to the same conclusion. [74] 7] For 1990 data: U.N. 8] Xiaoping Liu et al., 9] Christopher D.
For example, the IPCC notes that France had 4,000 fewer deaths than anticipated from a heat wave in 2006 thanks to improved health care, an early-warning system and greater public consciousness in response to a deadly heat wave three years earlier. Better preparedness for heat waves, which could increase in a hotter world, will save lives.
Except for 2009, the financial crisis year, and 2020, the pandemic period, aviation has grown every year between 2006 – 2024 and preceding that. In some cases, for example, where it is made from biofuel and involves taking up agricultural land generally used for food production, the sustainability element drastically declines.
