Biofuels had been the solution of most auto manufacturers and owners for the unstoppable oil price hike and even the threats of global warming. Its use had been widespread and it has been adopted by most auto owners. However, a potential was seen that these biofuels could contribute to global warming rather than counteract it. Two separate studies conducted by teams from Princeton University and Nature Conservancy had attested to that fact.

Timothy Searchinger, a researcher from Princeton University, said that biofuels that people are currently using could substantially increase greenhouse gases. The emissions should not only be the ones to be looked at in terms of the benefits of biofuels. Instead, its production should not be overlooked. The process of growing, harvesting, and refining fuels could make greenhouse gas emissions twice as much for the next 30 years.

With the two studies’ findings, the name of biofuels as “green fuels” had been tarnished. With this, it is about time to reconsider biofuel policies of different countries worldwide.
