Description
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), of all direct CO2 emissions from fuel combustion, transportation accounts for 24%.
Therefore, decarbonising the transport sector is a key element on the run up to COP26 – and biofuels have a significant role if we are to achieve the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5ºC.
Brazil is the second largest producer of biofuels in the world – second only to the United States – and has the largest fleet of “flex fuel” vehicles in the world. For over 50 years now, cars in Brazil have been powered by sustainable biofuels that not only mitigate climate change, but also promote economic growth, social inclusion and public health benefits.
Clean transport and electric vehicles are one of the priority campaigns of the British presidency of COP26.
