Biodiesel or biomethane looks at first glance to escape this, but it has serious other costs.
Is almost entirely fossil-fuel created doesn't mean it has to be almost entirely fossil-fuel created. You know, just like observing that cars are almost entirely burning fossil fuels doesn't mean cars must burn fossil fuels.
