With low-carbon fuels facing multiple challenges including poor demand, feedstock constraints and policy uncertainty, catalysts can help solve technology roadblocks in this emerging global market.
- Biofuels face competition from electrification and hydrogen
- Feedstock shortages hinder scale-up of biofuels
- Shell and BP cancel major biorefinery projects in Rotterdam, Netherlands
- Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) costs up to five times more than jet kerosene
- Regulatory mandates not rising quickly enough to stimulate demand
- Catalyst innovation boosts e-fuels efficiency, reduces energy use
- Industry needs incentives, clarity and global cooperation
In this ICIS Think Tank podcast, Will Beacham and ICIS biofuels editor Nazif Nazmul interview Andreas Bachmeier, head of business development & energy transition at Clariant.
