Background. My family are gardeners since generations back. We are on a sourcing trip in Brazil to buy new plants where bio ethanol are made. Farmers inform us on the fields that the bio ethanol production is very resource instensive. Basically growing sugar plants which are the source used to make ethanol sucks up all the nutrients from the ground. It also uses a lot of water. Politicians back home fully sold on the “green” aspects of bio ethanol subsidies the ethanol fuel without knowing the growing damaging consequences.
Soybeans may be similar to Sugar. You have to ask if it’s really clean also the growing part not just the fuel.
A greener way is to put up electricity lines over highways. Then trucks can be driven electrically without hauling lots of resource instensive batteries. The mining of lithium in truck production scale probably is not clean. Mining is one of the largest emitters of co2 in the world.

Cop report on largest co2 emitters doing 70% of the emissions. https://b8f65cb373b1b7b15feb-c70d8ead6ced550b4d987d7c03fcdd1...
