Food vs Fuel

Currently one of the biggest arguments against Biofuels is that it is taking away from our food supply . Biodiesel does not have to be made from food crops, however it is often easiest. In Alberta the number one source of biodiesel is currently Canola. Therefore the amount of food produced would be less, increasing food costs. This means we need to turn more towards non-food crops for our biodiesel. Plants such as canolini and the jatropha nut are examples of these.

Uno de los argumentos más fuertes contra el biodiesel es que se obtiene de alimentos. El biodiesel no se debe hacer con cereales aunque resulte lo más fácil. En Alberta, el recurso más usado es la canola. Esto trae como consecuencia que disminuya la producción de alimentos y que aumenten los costos. Esta situación debe revertirse usando canolini y piñones de tempate. (jatrofa)
