Not a good choice, in many cases using the same space for (human) food or just a forest is a more environments friendly, more subtainable and due to the use of fertilizer sometimes more climate friendly choice (at least in the EU/Germany)
It also avoid all kinds of social/human problems.
And even if it's not not climate friendly it's not much worse either.
- alkonaut 5y agoThe same space as what? Biogas is produced by rotting in wastewater plants (or that’s what I thought until someone mentioned the idea of growing stuff to make biogas but that sounded like a bad idea as you point out).
- dathinab 5y agoThere is only that much rotting close by bio wast, so I don't think natural bio gas makes a dent on the larger picture (but is nice for some use-cases without question). So when Germany started subvention Bio Gas it didn't took long until people started growing stuff with the intention of having "a lot of was for bio gas" (as far as I remember). Similar, probably worse, thinks happened in some "3rd world" countries as far as I remember.
