T&E's report analyses Oil World data for 2020 to assess current biofuels consumption and to evaluate the impact of the Renewable Energy Directive 10 years since it was introduced. It paints a sobering story of a policy that has driven up demand for cheap crop-based biodiesel leading to deforestation, habitat loss and greater CO2 emissions than the fossil diesel it replaces.
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.
