Background

To decarbonize the transport sector, different technologies will be needed. Biofuels can play a critical role, especially for long distance transport

In this workshop (requested in the NTRANS Use Case 3b on freight transport between the big cities) we target the role of biofuels in decarbonizing the Norwegian transport system.

We aim to target questions like: What is needed (in terms of policies, infrastructure, etc) to ramp up the usage of biofuels? For how long can we use biofuels as a transition fuel? How sustainable are biofuels? Why is the infrastructure for liquid biogas not coming of the ground?

To supplement the knowledge from our partners in the transport domain, we have brought in experts on biofuels and sustainability aspects for this workshop.
