The European Commission is devising a methodology to assess which renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs) deliver substantial carbon reductions. Here's T&E's views on the methodology.
RFNBOs are fuels made from renewable sources other than biomass. These renewable sources refer mostly to renewable electricity produced with wind and solar power. Electrofuels such as hydrogen, ammonia and synthetic hydrocarbons like e-kerosene are examples of such RFNBOs.
T&E’s key positions are the following:
T&E commissioned ERM to carry out a study looking at CO2 transportation for e-fuels production in Europe
Why we still need carbon, how much is sustainable, and how should we move it around?
Car, aviation and shipping industries would require 2-9 times the advanced biofuels that can be sustainably sourced in 2050.
