Production of plant-based biofuels should not lead to monocultures and the destruction of crop land and rain forests. A global knowledge base is needed if we are to develop common standards. Concerns about the availability and sustainability of biofuels are leading to a growing interest in what are known as e-fuels.

By contrast, using natural gas instead of coal for electric power plants can reduce radiative forcing immediately, and reducing CH 4 losses from the production and transportation of natural gas would produce even greater benefits, they found.

The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. To restore balance we must protect the oxygen-producing biomass of Earth and reduce the amount of carbon emissions. But use of petroleum will continue.
