Prince Charles’ bizarre decision to decarbonise his Aston Martin using a mixture of bioethanol made from cheese and wine waste should not be seen as a serious way to tackle the problem, said Greg Archer, director of the British division of Europe. a T&E organization fighting for clean air.
According to him, the use of biofuels causes more harm than good because it “stimulates deforestation and land use change, which deepens the climate crisis.”
The car, which Prince Charles has owned for five decades, has actually been converted to run on a fuel mixture of 85% bioethanol and 15% unleaded petrol, the Guardian said.
Dr. Chris Malins, an expert on alternative fuels, describes the decision with the car of the British heir to the throne as “boutique”.
Environmentalists stress the need to drive less and switch to electric vehicles with batteries using renewable energy.
