Show Notes

With low-carbon fuels facing multiple challenges including poor demand, feedstock constraints and policy uncertainty, catalysts can help solve technology roadblocks in this emerging global market.

  • Biofuels face competition from electrification and hydrogen
  • Feedstock shortages hinder scale-up of biofuels
  • Shell and BP cancel major biorefinery projects in Rotterdam, Netherlands
  • Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) costs up to five times more than jet kerosene
  • Regulatory mandates not rising quickly enough to stimulate demand
  • Catalyst innovation boosts e-fuels efficiency, reduces energy use
  • Industry needs incentives, clarity and global cooperation

In this ICIS Think Tank podcast, Will Beacham and ICIS biofuels editor Nazif Nazmul interview Andreas Bachmeier, head of business development & energy transition at Clariant.
