Main problems with bio fuels of any kind is hard to avoid bad actors finding externalities and just burning non waste, and it’s still burning. I non market or very mature regulation would be needed to make it a good alternative but even then the scale of energy is very small last I read.
I’m still skeptical on nuclear due to its low risk but severe outcomes when it goes wrong, build time and end of life issues/economics (solar might have end of life issues too, less so wind it seems). Solar and wind imo still winning on real world offsetting thanks to their relative simplicity for rolling out at scale. A hydrogen based economy would also marry nicely with excess production at peak times.
