In India, India’s bioenergy sector is set to play an important role underpinning the country’s rapidly growing energy markets as robust policy frameworks boost ethanol and compressed biogas production and open new opportunities for biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuels, according to new report from the International Energy Agency. The latest analysis, which provides forecasts for […]
In France, the International Energy Agency’s most recent Renewables 2024 report says meeting international climate goals would require not only accelerating the rollout of renewable power, but also significantly speeding up the adoption of sustainable biofuels, biogases, hydrogen and e-fuels, the report notes. Since these fuels remain more expensive than their fossil counterparts, their share […]
In Washington, biofuels are making up an increasing share of total distillate fuel oil consumed in the United States. Beginning in the September 2024 Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), the Energy Information Agency began publishing forecasts for several new series that help to better capture how biofuels are being consumed and overall demand for distillate fuel […]
In France, the International Energy Agency prepared a report in support of Brazil’s G20 presidency which examines the complexities and discusses regulatory approaches for accounting biofuel carbon intensity across various regions. It highlights the main reasons for variability of lifecycle GHG emissions of biofuels and emphasises that impacts of land use change are a major […]
In Washington, the International Energy Administration reports annual U.S. biodiesel imports doubled from 2022 to 2023 to 33,000 barrels per day (b/d) and continued to rise in the first two months of 2024, according to the most recent data available. Much of the increase in biodiesel imports has come from Germany, and the remaining increase […]
IEA Bioenergy Task 40: Deployment of biobased value chains (in the triennium 2016-2018 known as ‘Sustainable biomass markets and international bioenergy trade to support the biobased economy’), commonly abbreviated Task 40, was established under the International Energy Agency (IEA) Bioenergy Implementing Agreement in December 2003 with the aim of focusing on international bioenergy technology potential, […]
In France, the International Energy Agency in its most recent report on renewable energy says that in 2023, the role of biofuels has also come to the fore. Emerging economies, led by Brazil and India, are expected to drive 70% of global demand over the next five years as biofuels start to show their true […]
