IEA sees biofuels as main renewable fuel through 2022 despite increased EVs

In France, the International Energy Agency says in its new Renewables 2017 report that biofuels are expected to remain 90% of the renewable energy used in transport by 2022 despite a growing share of electric vehicles. Biofuel production is expected to grow 16% during the period as well with Asia taking the lead thanks to supportive policies and feedstock availability, but even so a concerted effort in policies globally could see that figure increase by another 13%. That best-case scenario, however, would only equate to 5% of transport fuel by 2022.
