by Hannah DelSordo* (Advanced Biofuels USA) The fifth episode of “Just A Minute (or So) about Renewable Fuels” focuses on the environmental and geopolitical benefits of using renewable fuels. It is vital to look towards renewable fuels in order to reduce carbon emissions and create diversity in our energy sources. Although renewable electricity is important, it cannot be the only solution as we need alternatives to petroleum as soon as possible.

In this episode we focus on the benefits of these renewable fuels and the benefits of moving away from oil. Renewable fuels will help to lower both individual and large scale carbon footprints For example, fleets are expanding their use of renewable fuels and individuals can also use fuels that are at least partly renewable.

It is possible to reduce the amount of pollution through the use of electric vehicles, however it could be a long time until EVs are common. Watch this Episode to learn more about how renewable fuels are necessary in the transition to a cleaner environment.
