Biodiesel is the most consumed biofuel in Europe today.
The problem? European food-based biodiesel emits, on average, 80% more CO2 than fossil diesel.

Palm-oil biodiesel is the worst of all biofuels. It releases three times the greenhouse gases emissions of fossil diesel. Despite that, it’s used more and more to fuel European diesel cars and trucks. And drivers don’t know they are burning palm.

All the growth in EU biodiesel since 2010 comes from imported palm oil. So much so that drivers are now the top consumers of palm oil in Europe.

The cure is worse than the disease.
