Some transport sectors – especially aviation and marine – will be hard to electrify. They will depend on renewable liquid fuels to cut emissions. Building the resilient supply chains needed for these fuels will take significant investment, but it’s essential for tackling climate change.
Scaling biofuels will demand collaboration across energy, transport, waste and agriculture. This session explores how these sectors can work together to grow the next generation of agriculture based biofuels, including intermediate crops and crops grown on degraded land.
We’ll look at:
• Opportunities to unlock unused potential in existing farmland.
• How to increase feedstock supply without driving land use change.
• Ways sustainable farming practices can support fuel production.
The key question: Can we boost agricultural investment, adopt more sustainable farming and grow more feedstock for renewable fuels – all at once? Join speakers from agriculture, energy, transport and NGOs as they explore what it will take.
Complimentary drinks will be available.
