95 The case for crop - based biofuels was further undermined when a team led by Paul Crutzen, a Nobel Prize — winning chemist at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Germany, concluded that emissions of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas, from the synthetic nitrogen fertilizer used to grow crops such as corn and rapeseed for biofuel production can negate any net reductions of CO2 emissions from replacing fossil fuels with biofuels, thus making biofuels a threat to climate stability.

Emissions reduction includes carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O).

Increases in CO2, methane or nitrous oxide, if significant and attributable to the project activity, must be quantified and deducted from net emission reductions.
