Fossil fuels are just don’t have a future with us if we want to have a future. Science is working on alternatives and as it turns out, biomass fuels are one way that we can shift the tides on climate change. These fuels, made of various plants, can actually reduce carbon.

Wood Over Petroleum – a new process could make plastic out of wood
Petroleum and plastic isn’t great. It’s causing us a lot of problems for us. You know what doesn’t cause us a lot of problems? Wood. Wood is great. And now scientists have figured out a way to break down wood in a way that it might replace petroleum.

Biofuel still sounds like a thing from science fiction but it’s real and comes in a variety of forms. Researchers are working on a way to turn yeast into car fuel to create a sustainable energy source that can be implemented without a fuss.
Read MoreBiofuel for Flights – airlines investigate alternative fuel sources
Flying less is one way people really focus on cutting carbon emissions but what if in the future, you didn’t have to cut out your air travel? If the plane runs on biofuel, you may not have to. This experimental idea is one of the ways that the aviation industry is looking to combat emissions.
Read MoreJet Fuel From Plants – new research hopes to lower emissions from flight
Air travel is a source of emissions that no one really has a good answer for. Scientists in China may be close though with a process that uses plant waste to create aviation fuel which could lead to the deduction in CO2 from planes.
Read MoreGribbles and Biofuel – this small sea animal may help us turn trees to fuel
One of the things we need to do to help turn the tide on climate change is move away from fossil fuels like coal and more into low carbon fuels. Biofuel is a good prospect and the guts of a tiny crustacean may give us the key to turning wood into such fuel.
