The strategy also aims to ensure that carbon in woody material removed from the forests is locked away in the form of solid lumber or burned as biofuel in vehicles that would otherwise run on fossil fuels.
The UK Government's target is completely sustainable flying by 2050, but researchers found that more than half of all British farmland would be needed to grow the plants to make the biofuel.
So here logically there is much interest in being able to take advantage of all this biomass, to be able to transform it into these biofuels and into other products as well.
Bad climate policies, such as backing renewable energy with no thought for the cost, or insisting on biofuels despite the damage they do, are bad whatever the climate's sensitivity to greenhouse gases.
And though alternative fuels made via green processes, such as biofuels, hydrogen and ammonia, have the necessary oomph, little infrastructure exists to make and distribute them.
But in the future, we're likely to scale up our production of biofuels made from food waste — a renewable energy source that releases far less carbon dioxide.
