Renewable wood-based biofuels for shipping

Green Car Congress

ReShip project will use low-quality wood waste, chippings and unmerchantable wood left in forests after logging has occurred for feedstock for the fast pyrolysis process. ReShip aims to develop alternative sustainable sulfur free transportation fuels that will contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector.

NAIT partnering with Oberon, Mack and Westcan to advance use of DME fuel in long-haul trucks

Green Car Congress

DME produces zero soot, zero sulfur oxides (SO x ), less NO x and also significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to diesel (especially if made from biogas). DME is a gas under ambient conditions. DME’s easy handling properties make fueling and infrastructure relatively simple and inexpensive. Earlier post.).

UK study finds Bio-SNG could offer 90% reduction in lifecycle CO2; lower cost of carbon abatement than electrical solutions for transport applications

Green Car Congress

via the gasification of biomass waste—into methane. Feedstocks can include more durable material such as woody biomass and wastes that are not broken down in traditional anaerobic digester plants. For heating applications using natural gas as a counterfactual, Bio-SNG offers a cost per tonne of CO 2 e abated of ~£175/te.

IEA roadmap concludes biofuels can provide up to 27% of world transportation fuel by 2050

Green Car Congress

While vehicle efficiency will be the most important and most cost-efficient way to reduce transport-emissions, biofuels will still be needed to provide low-carbon fuel alternatives for planes, marine vessels and other heavy transport modes, and will eventually provide one fifth (2.1
