  1. WHERE ARE WE WITH BIOFUELS? HONG KONG, SEPTEMBER 2011

  2. Just the facts Around 10% of fuel Total transport fuel use in 2008 was over 2 billion tonnes. Of that, commercial aviation used 215 million tonnes of Jet A-1. 2% of emissions Last year, aviation emitted 649 million tonnes of CO2 from a global total of 34 billion tonnes. Distribution points There are 161,768 gas stations in the USA alone, but only 1,679 airports control 95% of the world’s passengers. Largest operating cost Last year, airlines spent $140 billion on jet fuel, or 30% of operating costs. In 2003, it was 14%.

  3. Air NZ Test flight JAL Test flight 20 June 2011 First biofuel flight with passengers Continental Test flight 23 Feb 2008 First commercial airliner test flight 1 Jul 2011 Approval 50% blend HRJ use in flights KLM Test flight TAM Test flight Late 2009 Approval 50% blend BtL use in flights Interjet Test flight We’ve come a long way… 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012

  4. Passenger flights are taking place

  5. Next steps Continued technology development Feedstocks (crop-based, waste-based and algae) Processes (e.g. alcohol-to-jet and pyrolysis) Commercialisation Bringing biojet to parity with using conventional Jet A-1 Sustainability Ensuring our supply of biofuel is truly sustainable

  6. Global efforts SeaGreen @ Cranfield University Solena project / British Airways Flightpath for biofuels Aireg / German PureSky Romania camelina value chain Spanish Camelina value chain Algae production trial @ MAD Policy projects / Research projects / Biofuels production / Value chain and production

  7. Global efforts Detroit Airport biofuel production Sustainable Aviation Fuels Northwest Solena project with 10 US airlines Farm to Fly CAAFI Plan de Vuelo in Mexico Jatropha value chain project ABRABA in Brazil

  8. Global efforts Sustainable bioenergy research centre Qatar Advanced Biofuel Platform Chinese sustainable aviation study with PetroChina Joint Laboratory for Sustainable Aviation Biofuels

  9. Global efforts Virgin Blue initiative to develop biofuel from native eucalyptus Sustainable Aviation Fuels Roadmap (Aust. and NZ) Solena and Qantas BtL plant

  10. Global efforts Sustainable Aviation Fuels User Group (SAFUG)

  11. Governments need to help: Establish global sustainability criteria Provide incentives Understand local opportunities De-risk investments Support supply chain collaboration Foster research

  12. Remaining questions……? • How do we ensure a level playing field for aviation biofuels compared to other transport sectors? • Can we crack the distribution challenges? • Are we on the right track with individual airlines doing their own thing here and there? • Do we need a bigger, bolder strategy? • Do we need to engage more stakeholders?
