Soy as an agrofuel |
The biggest growing contributor to climate change is the transport sector. The focus on agrofuels reduces the political and public attention needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transport. For example, original EU proposals to make cars more efficient have recently been weakened after lobbying from the car industry and the use of agrofuels and other measures offered as a substitute. There is also the danger that the public will buy agrofuels as a perceived "green" form of driving when in reality a modal shift to less damaging forms of transport is needed. In addition, agrofuels are only economically viable if they receive large subsidies.
