"There are several advantages of using #ethanol for producing #GreenHydrogen: it's a #renewable fuel, it's easy to transport and store, and it enables the flat production of #hydrogen without intermittence and close to the place of consumption".
"As countries around the world contemplate economic revival and resilience in the context of the pandemic, the adoption of advanced #biotechnology solutions will be paramount".
“#Innovation is very important, but the successful execution of individual projects and bringing them in through all the various development stages into commercialization is absolutely key in enabling #bioenergy development”.
"Bringing the #GHG emissions of the road transport sector down to zero by 2050 cannot be achieved by one measure alone [...] #Biofuels contribute the most now and up to 2030, 2040 or even 2050, depending on the country".
The Biofuture Platform CEM (@CEMSecretariat) Campaign was launched today at #CEM12. Its mission is to bring together countries, companies & consumers towards the goal of reducing #GHG emissions and fostering a circular economy.
