Note: a big part of this has been the conversion of soybean oil into diesel fuel. A large fraction of US soybean oil production is now burned, which will limit how much this can scale further

Greenwashing. Driving your pickup truck to buy a Starbucks still isn’t okay even if you’ve ravaged land to grow food that nobody can eat rather than burning fossil reserves
How much “lower carbon” is the soybean biofuel compared to standard Diesel petroleum?
The carbon in the fuel is derived from photosynthesis, so it doesn’t add CO2 to the atmosphere. It’s blended into a mostly-fossil blend, so the impact has been a roughly 12% emissions cut
