Abstract:
Sustainability demand for the transport sector requires the transition from fossil to renewable energy sources. While electric vehicles may become a viable option for individual short range mobility, at least aviation, shipping and heavy duty transportation will continue to rely on liquid fuels. Biofuels can replace a large share of fossil fuel in these sectors. However, the usage of biofuels within transportation is only reasonable with significantly reduced Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to fossil fuels and lower GHG abatement costs to other carbon mitigation technologies. A detailed discussion of biofuels prospects in Europe is presented.
