A vece the attempt to find alternatives to fossil fuels leads to something worse, such as biofuels or agrofuels, considering the drawbacks of biofuels. In Tenerife (See Hotels in Tenerife) is doing great damage to biodiversity, forests and jungles, the environment, and after all does not help in the fight against climate change.
In Granadilla is a DISA project for agro-fuels plant to be used as feedstock to oil palm. The problem is the exploitation of oil palm has been growing strongly and now I will make this at the expense of destroying huge tracts of forests and jungles.
That is, it becomes a type of fuel to prevent pollution and greenhouse gases continue to send into the atmosphere to combat global warming, but how they do it? Cutting down forests, which is the worst thing you can do in the fight against climate change, as are the trees that absorb greenhouse gases and convert them into oxygen.
To make matters worse, “to replace woodland plantations of palm oil will be releasing more of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere than would be saved by burning agrofuels as a substitute for diesel,” they say in Ecologists in Action.
They also said: “The Federation does not consider acceptable any environmental project of its kind that is based on the import of raw materials for the production of agrofuels because they often cause environmental and social impacts very negatively on countries of origin. The main environmental problems of imported agrofuels are deforestation, destruction of ecosystems, loss of soil fertility, intensive use of pesticides or the introduction of transgenic species. ”
