More attempts to discredit the biofuels industry emerged last month with the rather dubious conclusion of a recently published academic paper claiming that biofuels actually increase rather than decrease CO2 emissions. Conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan, the paper refutes the point of biogenic carbon emissions neutrality and claims that in the United States between 2008 and 2013, the amount biogenic CO2 emissions from biofuels was greater than the CO2 absorbed from the biofuel crops. It didn’t take long for cracks in the paper to appear.....
