To further abate GHG emissions in road transport by 2030, more biofuels and hybrid powertrains for passenger cars as well as more biofuels and new truck concepts for commercial vehicles are a cost effective way of delivering more GHG savings from transport and with supportive polices they can deliver an extra 34 Mt CO 2 e by 2030.

Additionally, other tree parts go to waste when only the trunk is used, making the process more inefficient and wasteful. We have the environmental incentives to produce fuels and chemicals from renewable resources, but right now, they aren’t enough to compete with low oil prices. That’s the problem.

Other advantages of this sugar to biofuels pathway over conventional biodiesel made from vegetable oils include: Access to a wide variety of biomass feedstocks such as sugar cane, sugar cane waste (bagasse), energy grass and woodchips, which can be produced at scale and in high yield. Reduced exposure to vegetable oil price.

Preliminary analysis suggests that Virent’s BioForming process can compete economically with petroleum-based fuels and chemicals at crude oil prices of $60 a barrel. The BioForming platform is near commercialization. Fuels derived from the process can have a 20–30% per Btu cost advantage over ethanol.

Sensitivity analyses varying these assumptions individually gave potential cost-competitiveness with oil priced at $70/bbl to $120/bbl. At $50/bbl oil price, a $50/ton GHG tax keeps subsidies required for cellulosic ethanol below $8B per year; a price of $100/ton keeps it under $2B per year.
