Tag: Food vs fuel debate

According to a confidential World Bank report, biofuels caused a massive 75% increase in global food prices, highlighting a key disadvantage of using food as a fuel. This practice raises critical economic, social, and environmental concerns, challenging its long-term sustainability and ethics.

Globally, more than 99% of currently produced bioethanol is first-generation (1G). This statistic highlights the current dominance of 1G ethanol, but the emergence of second-generation (2G) ethanol, derived from non-food sources, presents a significant shift in the renewable energy landscape.
