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…

Delivering the Belém pledge: policy design to scale a suite of sustainable fuels
