In terms of addressing this problem‚ biofuels‚ which are a renewable energy produced from crops including corn‚ sugar cane and palm oil‚ are considered as a way to reduce carbon emissions. However‚ biofuels cannot solve this problem effectively due to their limitations which increase greenhouse gases emissions instead of reducing it and also cause deforestation. This essay will outline the
