Breakout session: Scaling up emerging sustainable fuel pathways
Background information Sustainable liquid fuels include advanced biofuels and synthetic hydrogen-based liquids made using a sustainable source of carbon, such as CO2 captured from the atmosphere. A diverse set of promising technologies have reached the pilot and demonstration phase, with some notable improvements on decades-old synthetic fuel processes. Some others, included lignocellulosic biofuels and alcohol-to-jet fuel are reaching the market in certain geographies. As a potential sustainable shipping fuel, ammonia and methanol are being tested at scale and order books for large engines designed for these fuels are filling up.There is significant latent demand for…
