UK biofuels industry looks for options when fossil fuel vehicles phase out post-2040

In the UK, the biofuels industry is already looking at what life will be like post-2040 when the ban on new gasoline and diesel cars comes into effect. Though there is a lot of time between now and then, and there will be need for internal combustion engines into the future well after the ban on new cars comes into place. Afterwards, other uses for fuels such as electricity production and ethanol as the basis for green chemicals should continue to provide demand even if it isn’t for transport. Some criticize the move saying that it is short sighted because there isn’t enough lithium for the batteries required for a 100% electric vehicle shift.
