Biofuels are produced from renewable raw materials. Their emissions consist primarily of carbon dioxide that the renewable raw materials, e.g. biomass, binds from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Fossil fuels are made from non-renewable resources and release carbon directly into the atmosphere. This is why biofuels have a significantly smaller carbon footprint compared to fossil fuels. The carbon footprint of biodiesel and ethanol is 60 - 80% smaller compared to fossil fuels. Neste MY Renewable Diesel is able to create a footprint even up to 90% smaller.
