The Future of Biofuels: Biofuels in the Economy and Decarbonization Pathways
A webinar featuring an expert panel that will explore biofuels policies and how they can be designed to best meet environmental and economic goals.
Details
- What emissions-reduction opportunities do biofuels offer in the energy transition, and under what conditions are those reductions scalable and durable?
- In which sectors and applications do biofuels have the most potential, and what frictions limit their development and deployment in these areas?
- What key questions, challenges, and debates characterize this discussion?
On Friday, November 7, RFF hosted a webinar featuring an expert panel that explored these questions and more. This webinar, the second in RFF’s “Future of Biofuels” series, complemented the scene setting that occurred during the fireside chat on “Economic Research Priorities for a Low-Carbon Transition” from earlier in the week. Stay tuned for future installments and learn more on the event series webpage.
