Biofuels are an excellent way of reducing carbon emissions and boosting energy-efficiency savings.
This is the opinion of Caroline Bedell, Country Land & Business Association regional director, who told the Evesham Journal that farming procedures in particular could benefit.
"We know that UK crops when grown and processed sustainably can make very large carbon savings and that the best renewable transport fuel is biomethane made by anaerobic digestion," she explained.
According to Ms Bedell, while the benefits of such energy sources are widely known in the scientific world, British policies do not currently reflect these advantages.
Her comments argued against a recent report by the European Union that some biofuels could be guilty of producing more than four times the carbon dioxide than equivalent fossil fuels.
Industry publication EngineerLive last month stated that an increase in interest for biofuels technology and production procedures is being driven by the rising price of oil.
