What makes a sustainable fuel truly sustainable?
Rising demand for alternative fuels brings critical questions: Which fuels? And how clean are they, really? The answers: it depends. Learn more.

At #ClimateWeekNYC, EDF's Morgan Rote saw promise in sustainable fuels for hard-to-electrify sectors. ⚡ But a study projects biofuel output could rise ~70% by 2030, and proposed mandates could more than double land needs. The whole value chain matters. reut.rs/4here3Y
