Detailed Call Description
Scaling up sustainable biofuels is a global challenge in terms of environmental, social, and economic sustainability, which can benefit from international collaboration and knowledge exchange. Proposals should address systemic constraints and opportunities for scaling up complete value chains of sustainable biofuels and propose solutions. Any sustainable non-food/feed biomass feedstock and any innovative technology or combinations of them should be considered.
The need of including sustainable biofuels in a transformed integrated energy system is recognized worldwide. Enhancing the European global role in this area will increase the potential to export European renewable fuel technologies into global developing markets, and improve sustainability of biofuel value chains worldwide while supporting the EU goals for climate change mitigation in 2030 and 2050.
