The Leaders
We, the Leaders of Sustainable Biofuels, believe that 2nd Generation and Advanced Biofuels (2GAB) made from no-food competing feedstocks represent one of the major industrial opportunities today for our planet in the sustainable energy technology field. The world is taking action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and 2GAB are a key part of the solution, because they do not compete with food and have considerably lower environmental impact than fuels made from petroleum oil or natural gas. Significant 2GAB production could be deployed today provided that a policy and regulatory framework enabling long-term investment is implemented.
The Leaders of Sustainable Biofuels are determined in stimulating the EU policy
towards accelerated industrial research and innovation into emerging biofuel
technologies, including algae and new conversion pathways, supported by public and
private policies promoting deployment.
The Leaders of Sustainable Biofuels will be constructive towards existing biofuel
associations and other biofuel organisations and will aim to cooperate with them in
areas of common interest. The Leaders of the Sustainable Biofuels is set up by the CEOs of the
participating organisations.
Members of the Leaders of Sustainable Biofuels must be:
• Technology developers of 2nd generation and advanced biofuels who
have already been investing in large scale demonstration scale facilities
• Investors in plants (demo or flagship) of 2nd generation and advanced
biofuels.
