The majority of the literature demonstrates that there is an unfavourable increase in NOx emissions when using biofuels as opposed to fossil fuels.
“Additionally, despite the favourable reduction in PM, CO and VOC emissions, the majority of the literature demonstrates that there is an unfavourable increase in NO x emissions when using biofuels as opposed to fossil fuels [39,53,54].”

Adding up all the biodiesel consumed in Brazil since 2008, the GHG avoided emissions have already reached 21.8 million tons of CO2, equivalent to nearly 158 million trees in an area corresponding to 144 thousand football fields.
“a recent report released by the Brazilian Department of Agriculture Livestock Supply states that by “adding up all the biodiesel consumed in Brazil since 2008, the GHG avoided emissions have already reached 21.8 million tons of CO 2 , which is equivalent to nearly 158 million trees in an area corresponding to 144 thousand football fields” [39,76].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
