Carbon Footprint - tells you how much effect something has on the environment
Carbon Neutral - carbon neutral activities have no overall carbon emission into the atmosphere
Bioethanol is pretty much carbon neutral
- produced by fermentation of sugar from crops like Maize
- all the carbon dioxide released when the fuel is burned was removed by the plant as it grew
- still carbon emissons if you consider whole process - making fertilisers and powering agricultural machinery will involve burning fossil fuels
