T-1A1a-21 - Biofuel for diesel cars

Background

IPCC WG3 definition: TBD.

Sustainable biofuels such as HVO are produced from biomass, such as arable crops, food waste or residues from the forest industry. Since biomass has accumulated carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during its growth, and release emissions during natural degradation in any case, emissions from biofuels are assumed to be zero. However, biofuel vehicles still cause particulate emissions.
