Shell sez: For alt fuels, it's biofuels, baby

In Spain, Shell re-affirmed its opinion that biofuels are the best alternative energy solution for transport fuels at the F.O. Licht’s World Ethanol & Biofuels conference. Arthur Reijnhart, the General Manager for Alternative Energies and Fuel Development Strategies, stressed the importance of diversity in products, including different biodiesel blend levels for light duty vehicles and freight.

Said Reijnhart, “The challenges of upscaling cellulosic ethanol in a commercially viable way and with reliable processes are enormous,” he said, adding that “deep pockets, patience and the right kind of government support” were the essential prerequisites for development of this sector.
