Advanced Biofuels USA Policy Statements and Handouts
by Tammy Klein (Transportation Energy Strategies) … I spoke to both Neville Hargreaves, Vice President, Waste to Fuels and Drew Miller, Project Finance Director of Velocys about their SAF projects in the U.S. (Bayou Fuels) and in the UK (Altalto). We also talked about how they see the policy and market environment unfolding over the next 5-10 years. Following are several excerpts from our discussion, which you can view or download below, or listen to in ITunes.
Neville on the Policy Direction in Europe:
“I think there’s clear direction in Europe that that will be SAF mandates. The British government indicated in November, in their 10 point plan for industrial decarbonization, that they would be looking at, not only at band aids, but at means of supporting early investments in these technologies, because you’ve got to get the first few commercial plants out there before you can start driving the costs down and really rolling it out quickly around the world. Much bigge
by Tammy Klein (Transport Energy Strategies) … Additional efficiency improvements in planes and engines are not likely to be enough and will require lower carbon fuels also known as sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), as alternative energy vectors, such as hydrogen, will not be sufficiently developed and deployed by 2050 to significantly contribute to air transport decarbonization.
There is massive potential for SAF, but there are also challenges.
…
So, what is it going to take to bring SAF to market? What is the tipping point? What series of events/actions have to happen to make that tipping point happen? These and the questions below were the focus of this Q&A discussion held earlier this month. Joining me for the discussion were:
by Tammy Klein (Transport Energy Strategies) Thanks to all of you who attended the recent webinar with Dr. David Babson, Program Director, Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E). The title of his talk was “Changing what’s possible for a sustainable future,” which included a topic that is top of mind for many involved in the fuels arena reaching net negative fuels and incentivizing carbon optimization. Following are a few highlights from the discussion.
…
This is to highlight the fact that one of the largest industries on the face of the earth by 2100 is going to be carbon removal and management. And therefore, from the Department of Energy standpoint, we are very interested in ensuring that the technologies that service this future are very large, perhaps the largest industry on the face of the earth, are serviced with technologies that are both low cost and energy efficient.
