However, the viability of CTL becomes quite limited in regions with climate policy due to the high conversion cost and huge carbon footprint. Although adding carbon capture and storage (CCS) could reduce CO 2 emissions, the additional cost from implementing CCS makes CTL less attractive, the report finds. of global electricity demand.

European Parliament backs 6% cap on land-based biofuels, switchover to advanced biofuels; no mandate

Green Car Congress

SEPTEMBER 11, 2013

According to current legislation, member states must ensure that renewable energy accounts for at least 10% of energy consumption in transport by 2020. In the adopted text, MEPs (Members of the European Parliament) say land-based biofuels should not exceed 6% of the final energy consumption in transport by 2020.
