Yes and no. In theory yes, because ethanol and FAME containing fuels are plant- based and therefore they should be better for the environment. However, there are a number of studies that suggest turning land used to grow crops for food to now grow crops for fuel can have a worse impact on the environment. Especially when you consider the energy used to harvest and produce the bio-content.
Due to the lower calorific power in biofuels you will need to consume more fuel and pay higher costs in the long term.
The benefits of these fuels are still being studied by the EU governments.
