Update from biofuelwatch - now over 150 NGOs have
Over 150 NGOs have now signed the biofuelwatch letter indicating that they are not happy either with the EU biofuels directive.
See: http://www.biofuelwatch.org.uk/2007Jan31-signatures.html< ...
The EU Biofuels directive puts 20 Million hectares of rainforest in Indonesia at extreme risk. If destroyed, and its associated peat land is drained, this could release 50 Billion tonnes of carbon - the equivalent of 6 years of current levels of carbon emissions. When added to current extremely high levels of global fossil fuel emissions, it could take the planet over a climate tipping point.
