To meet the EU and global climate change mitigation objectives while continuing to provide affordable mobility, vital to citizens and industry, there will be a need for both “low-carbon” electrons and “low-carbon” molecules. While electrons offer a viable alternative for passenger cars and vans in cities, molecules for liquid fuels will still be needed, especially for long haul heavy duty road transport, aviation, and marine, as well as for petrochemical feedstocks, lubricants and other products. Low-carbon liquid fuels can be among the most cost-effective options for cutting CO2 in transport. Part of this is due to extensive and reliable distribution infrastructures already in place, a clear advantage compared to other energy solutions requiring the build-up, often with public funds, of new infrastructures.

By to 2023. The following is the summary on the section dealing 2023, world biofuel production is estimated to grow another 15% with biofuels in transport. to 165 billion litres, equivalent to 97 Mtoe – an upward revision from last year’s forecast owing to robust growth prospects in Asia Of the three sectors, transport has the lowest penetration of and Latin America. renewables. While renewable energy in transport is expected to grow by 19% between 2018 and 2023, the overall renewable Asian countries account for the most growth in biofuel output over share remains small. In transport demand, renewables grow the forecast period: China, India and ASEAN countries combined from 3.4% in 2017 to just 3.8% in 2023. Even so, renewables represent half of the global expansion in biofuel production. Latin account for 12% of transport fuel demand growth. America is responsible for 45% of production growth, which comes principally from Brazil, which has the highest growth in Biofuel production continues to increase, rising 15% to 165 biofuel output of any individual country.

However, rail still accounts for most of renewable consumption in 2023. Overall, by the end of the forecast period, renewables provide almost one-third of the ETHANOL global demand for electrified transport. Fuel ethanol accounts for two-thirds of the growth in conventional Renewable energy in transport by fuel biofuels between 2018 and 2023. Ethanol production increased by 3% globally in 2017, when it reached 104 billion litres of output, with higher production primarily in the United States, the European Union and China. Ethanol production is projected to expand at an average annual growth rate of 2%, to reach 119 billion litres by 2023, an upward revision from last year’s forecast. Growth is driven by Brazil, followed by China and expanding markets in India and Thailand. In 2023, China’s share of global production increases, but the United States and Brazil still dominate ethanol production, accounting for 80% of global output.
