Biofuels for Decarbonisation: A Guide to Bioenergy Technologies
To achieve global decarbonisation goals, the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy is essential. Fossil fuels currently account for 75% of greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 90% of carbon emissions worldwide. In response, governments and industries are investing in biofuels for decarbonisation — a scalable, renewable alternative that can significantly reduce emissions across sectors.
Bioenergy, including biogas, bioethanol, and biodiesel, now represents over 55% of global renewable energy, according to the IEA. This guide explores the technologies, sourcing strategies, and sustainability frameworks that underpin effective biofuels deployment. From feedstock sourcing to lifecycle emissions and regulatory frameworks, we provide a comprehensive overview of how biofuels can help achieve Net Zero by 2050.
This guide explores the role of biofuels in decarbonisation — highlighting how biomass-based energy sources like biogas, bioethanol, and biodiesel can reduce emissions and support Net Zero goals. You’ll get a practical overview of bioenergy technologies and their application across industry sectors.
It is designed for sustainability leads, energy strategists, and project developers seeking to understand the technologies and implementation pathways for biofuels. Whether you’re new to the space or looking to scale existing solutions, it provides expert-backed insights.
