Aviation Fuel Demand Doesn’t Collapse. Cheap Kerosene Growth Does.
Aviation is one of the harder transition sectors to model well because it invites two bad shortcuts. One is to assume that flying keeps growing as it did in the cheap-kerosene era, with a cleaner molecule somehow dropped into the same demand curve. The other is to assume that decarbonization … [continued]

Global Biofuel Demand Set to Grow by Nearly 70% as Food Prices Rise
High biofuels targets will exacerbate rising global food prices, as well as fertilisers shortages. The current scramble for biofuel feedstocks to combat high oil prices could see biofuel consumption globally rise by 30% this year and a staggering 70% by 2030, a new T&E study shows. This risks putting severe pressure on … [continued]

Feeding The Fuel Crop: Fertilisers Are Powering More Than Just Food
The EU Commission has proposed a plan to stockpile fertilisers in the wake of the conflict in the Middle East. Expanding crop-based biofuels production would put further strain on the EU’s fertiliser supplies. Despite European fuel policy now limiting their use, around half of biofuels consumed in the EU and UK still rely on … [continued]

Driving A Car On HVO Is 79% More Expensive Than An Electric Car — New Analysis
Advanced biofuels are not the affordable alternative to oil that the fuels industry claims. Biofuels are being touted as an affordable alternative to oil during the energy crisis, but new research finds that pure HVO, the most widely promoted ‘drop in’ replacement for fossil fuels, is 79% more expensive, on average, than … [continued]
