A study by researchers at Lund University in Sweden found that Swedish biofuels produce between 65 and 148% less greenhouse gas emissions than gasoline and diesel, even when direct and indirect land use changes are taken into account. Co-production of biogas and ethanol from wheat was also analyzed. 68% from biodiesel (RME).
