<br>Biofuels: 'Irrational' and 'worse than nonrenewable fuel sources'<br> |
|||
<br>The UK's "illogical" use of biofuels will [cost drivers](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) around ₤ 460 million over the next 12 months, a think tank states.<br> |
|||
<br>A report by Chatham House, external states the growing dependence on sustainable liquid fuels will likewise increase food rates.<br> |
|||
<br>The author states that [biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) made from grease was worse for the climate than fossil fuels.<br> |
|||
<br>Under EU law, external, biofuels are set to comprise 5% of the UK's transportation fuel from today.<br> |
|||
<br>Since 2008, the UK has needed fuel suppliers to include a growing proportion of sustainable materials into the fuel and diesel they provide. These biofuels are generally ethanol distilled from corn and biodiesel made from rapeseed, utilized cooking oil and tallow.<br> |
|||
<br>Deep fried fuel<br> |
|||
<br>But research performed for Chatham House states that reaching the 5% level implies that UK drivers will need to pay an additional ₤ 460m a year since of the higher expense of fuel at the pump and from filling up more frequently as biofuels have a lower energy material.<br> |
|||
<br>The report state that if the UK is to meet its responsibilities to EU energy targets the expense to [vehicle drivers](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) is likely to rise to ₤ 1.3 bn per annum by 2020.<br> |

<br>"It is hard to find any great news," Rob Bailey, senior research [study fellow](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) at Chatham House, told BBC News.<br> |
|||
<br>"Biofuels increase expenses and they are a really costly method to lower carbon emissions," he stated.<br> |
|||
<br>The EU [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) mandates are also having extremely distorting impacts in the marketplace. Because utilized cooking oil is considered as one of the most sustainable types of [biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053), the rate for it has actually risen rapidly. Rob Bailey says that towards [completion](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) of 2012 it was more costly than [refined palm](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) oil.<br> |
|||
<br>"It creates a monetary incentive to buy refined palm oil, cook a chip in it to turn it into utilized cooking oil and after that sell it at earnings,"<br> |
|||
<br>"It is crazy but the rewards are there."<br> |
|||
<br>There are likewise frets that taking EU land out of production to grow rapeseed oil in particular is producing more [climate issues](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) than it [resolves](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd). The more fuel of this type that is taken into vehicles the bigger the deficit developed in the edible oils market. This had actually resulted in increased imports of palm oil from Indonesia, typically produced on [deforested land](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited).<br> |
|||
<br>"Once you consider these indirect results, biofuels made from veggie oils actually result worldwide in more emissions than you would obtain from using diesel in the first place," stated Rob Bailey.<br> |
|||
<br>"Plus you are asking drivers to pay more for the fuel - it makes no sense, it is a completely illogical method."<br> |

<br>[Biofuel](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) benefits<br> |

<br>The European Biodiesel Board (EBB), which represents the industry, [external](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) throughout the EU, stated it was [conscious](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) of the problems triggered by the required. But it believes that biofuels have lots of positives.<br> |
|||
<br>"Blaming biofuels for all the troubles worldwide is a bit too exaggerated," [stated Isabelle](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) Maurizi, job [supervisor](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) at the EBB.<br> |

<br>"It has brought great deals of benefits. It has enhanced the security of our diesel |
