Study Shows The Importance Of Biofuels In The Goal Of Reducing Carbon Emissions In The Coming Decades

The world has an ambitious goal for the coming decades: to reduce, or even eliminate, carbon emissions. A study to be released at the multilateral Biofuture Summit II – BBEST2021, details that biofuels are and will continue to be the main factor in reducing carbon emissions in the road transport sector in five countries: Brazil, United States, Sweden, Finland, and Germany.

Biofuels will cease to be the main factor in reducing carbon emissions in Sweden and Finland only by 2040, when the majority of their vehicle fleet will be electric vehicles. According to a study titled “The Role Of Biofuels In The Decarbonization Of Road Transport”, this shows that Brazil already presents biofuel as the main factor that will lead the country to reduce carbon emissions.

Brazil Has An Ambitious Goal To Reduce Carbon Emissions

Dina Bacovsk, the researcher who led the study, revealed that for the five economies studied (Brazil, United States, Sweden, Finland, and Germany) to achieve their carbon reduction goals by 2050, joint action involving all countries is necessary.

The study showed that the five countries, including Brazil, have resources in plantations to produce biofuels on a large scale to replace up to 30% of the entire fossil fuel demand by 2060. The study included crop residues, energy crops (such as sugarcane and corn), and organic waste from various processes.

The study also analyzed the current scenario versus the potential for mass adoption of biofuel, as well as the adoption of technically enhanced biofuels to the maximum, also known as maxbios.

Brazil stands out in this regard. Electric cars do not appear to have a significant contribution in terms of impact on Brazil’s energy matrix by 2050. However, it was pointed out that despite the intensive use of biofuels in road transport, given the flexible route and the addition of ethanol to gasoline, carbon emissions are expected to rise until 2045.
