Building up the future, technology status and reliability of the value chains : sub group on advanced biofuels : sustainable transport forum

This study seeks to support the European Commission in the elaboration of a methodology for the deployment of advanced biofuels. Currently, the contribution of advanced and other renewable fuels is very limited in the EU with a relative higher cost than fossil fuels they aim to replace. The Sub Group on Advanced Biofuels (SGAB) of the Sustainable Transport Forum consisted of 32 industry experts representing all advanced biofuels value chains as well as the transport sectors of aviation, maritime and heavy duty transport. The Sub Group on Advanced Biofuels worked also on the status of the various technologies considering mainly large scale demonstration plants and first of a kind plants. This report summarises the findings. The data were collected directly by the industry; therefore they represent the most accurate and reliable results on advanced biofuel technology status. This work was led by Ingvar Landälv, the Vice Chair of the SGAB.
