Sustainability of biofuels and managing risk: Can feedstocks be scalable and sustainable?

There is increasing customer and government pressure for companies to decarbonize in order to combat climate change. The Renewable Energy Directive II placed a new target of 14% of energy in transport should be from renewable sources by 2030. 

 

Liquid biofuels from sustainable feedstocks can be key to this decarbonization process. However, there is a risk of doing more harm than good if sustainability is not made a priority. 

 

 We will discuss:

 

·       Which feedstocks should be used? And to what extent can these be scaled?

·       Should there be a choice between food/feed and advanced biofuels?

·       How can biofuels positively affect the agricultural, forest and waste industries?
