Study Finds Biofuel Carbon Footprint Overstated
Submitted by admin on January 15, 2009 – 6:03 pmNo Comment
A Michigan State University study finds that the life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions may be significantly less than other studies have indicated. The researchers found that the carbon “pay back” time – the theoretical amount of time it takes for the carbon savings of biofuel production to surpass the carbon emissions attributed to biofuels production – can be significantly shorter depending on use of sustainable cropping management practices.
