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:

Advanced Biofuels USA Policy Statements and Handouts
by Tammy Klein (Transport Energy Strategies) Renewable electricity generation and storage requires huge quantities of mined raw materials. In Europe, most of these elements are currently imported and unsustainably produced. So the European Commission has hatched a new plan for obtaining them within its borders, to make the industry more sustainable and resilient against outside disruptions.
The commission has launched a new industry alliance aimed at building a complete EU supply chain for such raw materials, which are vital to renewable energy, electric vehicles and the circular economy. This will “increase EU resilience in the rare earth and magnet value chains”, it says.
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.
