Further to your email reply below, where you said that you would look into the points raised, I still have had no further response.
I am a college lecturer and many of my students are concerned about the deforestation that they read about in the press. If you are genuinely convinced that your biofuel is so environmentally beneficial, perhaps you would like to come to our college and present your case to our students in an open debate.
Our college has a record that we are proud of in engaging our students on critical issues such as global warming and a debate of this nature would fit well with our ethos.

What evidence do you have to support your presentation?
Dear Anonymous,
You seem to be asking the wrong person. It is not me that it advocating biofuels, it is Tesco. It is up to them to prove to you that what they are proposing is based on sound science.
As you can see from the corresondence with them on my blog, they are not able to answer a single question that I have asked them.
If you still want evidence, read virtually any newspaper report on biofuels, or check you shopping bill when you get home.
You don't understand what I'm asking, I'm interested to know what sources you based your presentation on?
I understand exactly what you are asking - however, it is still up to Tesco to prove that what they are doing is sustainable.
If a company bring out any product they have an onus to ensure health, safety and environemental aspects are covered. Tescos are clearly failing in this regard.
Anyway, to demonstate that I am not making things up, source that I have used include:
