Biofuture Platform

At #COP30 leaders launched the Biofuture Declaration on Sustainable Chemicals, led by the Netherlands, to replace fossil carbon with sustainable sources. Focus: policy, technology, supply chains, markets. All members but the US endorsed it. 🔗biofutureplatform.org/news/cem-biofu…

Brazil launched the Belém 4× Commitment to quadruple global sustainable fuel by 2035, speeding the shift to a low-carbon energy system. Supported by Italy, Japan, and India, the pledge builds on an @IEA report confirming this goal is achievable. 🔗 biofutureplatform.org/news/italy-jap…

🇮🇹 Italy will chair the @CEMSecretariat #BiofuturePlatform (2025–2027) to boost sustainable biofuels globally. A key step for the energy transition, backed by science, innovation, and international cooperation. @IEA Read more 🔗 biofutureplatform.org/news/italy-ann…

Jim Spaeth from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced that the country could reach a production of 3 billion gallons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by 2030, based on planned production facilities. In the first half of 2024 alone, 50 million gallons of SAF were produced or imported, avoiding 300 thousand metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions. The long-term goal: replace all fossil jet fuels with sustainable alternatives by 2050, contributing to major emissions reductions and creating one million jobs in the U.S. To achieve this, eight U.S. agencies are working together to build a resilient SAF supply chain. Spaeth emphasized the need for global collaboration, particularly with partners like Brazil, to establish a sustainable aviation fuel ecosystem worldwide.

📃 A group of international organizations – including UN organizations @FAO, @UNEP, @UNECE, and @UNIDO , as well as @IEA, @IRENA, IEA Bioenergy, Global Bioenergy Partnership, and the CEM @Biofuture_ – unite to call for responsible and sustainable implementation of bioenergy systems which is key to achieve climate goals and support global development. 👉 The statement outlines that sustainable bioenergy can make a crucial contribution to climate change mitigation, inclusive and just energy transitions, energy security and rural development, improved farmer incomes and job creation. 🗣 @demoplants, Chair of IEA Bioenergy: “We are happy to be part of this initiative, recognizing that sustainable bioenergy has many benefits. Bioenergy represents more than half of the renewable energy supply today. Sustainable bioenergy, which can be combined with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), is a crucial means to keep global warming below 1.5 °C by the end of the century.” Read the statement on our website 🔗 ieabioenergy.com/blog/publicati…
