European Commission scientists doubt whether biofuels could ever be produced in large quantities, arguing that greenhouse gases emitted from producing biofuels might remove most of the carbon dioxide savings made from replacing fossil fuels. There are major concerns over emissions from a potent greenhouse gas called nitrous oxide. EC Institute of Energy's Heinz Ossenbrink says that research undertaken by European Union-funded scientists shows that nitrous oxide emissions are 270 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Robert Edwards of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change renewable energies unit says that emissions could double from one end of the field to the other.
