Foreword
Recent news items demonstrate the significant growth expected
from biofuels globally as biofuels are still seen as an important stepping
stone in transport decarbonisation strategies.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that
biofuels demand is likely to grow by 28% between now and 2026. This is
equivalent to 186 billion litres in 2026. However, it is estimated that demand actually
needs to double to match the IEA’s net zero scenario. Although the IEA
accounted for this doubling in its “accelerated scenario”, its achievement is
highly depended on cost, sustainability and addressing potential technical
limitations. While demand is rising rapidly, markets and supplies are
struggling to keep up and prices remain high, in part due to Covid related
impacts on international transport and logistics. This year, Argus European
biofuel and feedstock prices have hit record highs. The 2021 average price of
