A study commissioned by the Dutch government confirms, emissions from vegetable oil burning
are relatively similar to those from burning mineral diesel, although there is some recent evidence
that they may be even worse as far as nitrous oxide and carcinogenic and mutagenic PAH
emissions are concerned!

Interesting report from 2009

All this offsetting going on by planting trees which are more than likely planted away from the area concerned and by offsetting the UK’s footprint by bringing materials etc from other countries doesnt really solve the problem they make out.

Very similar to the governments scheme (Schapps) coming into force next year maufacturers must sell more BEV’S increasing year on year untill 2030 or they face increasing fines. Now if a manufacturer doesn’t meet its goals it can buy carbon credits from a manufacturer who has perhas exceeded the limit and not be fined. Another farce!
