[...] The mandate is part of a European Union directive for biofuels to supply 10 percent of the region's fuel by 2020. European countries advocate biofuels as a tool to lower their greenhouse gas emissions - the region has vowed to cut emissions 20 percent by 2020. But two landmark studies published in the journal Science this year suggest that if natural habitats are converted to cropland, the carbon released through clearing the land may outweigh the carbon dioxide emissions the biofuels were meant to avoid.
