The Digest’s 10 Top Advanced Bioeconomy Markets & Predictions for 2020

January 1, 2020 |


9. EU goes Advanced

First-gen has ruled in the EU for a long time in terms of fuels at deployment scale — but all that amazing EU technology, some impressive EU-based investment, and a new RED II that gives a big bonus for deploying advanced fuels will finally take advanced from avant-garde to everyday in the EU. We’ll see lots of projects announced to finally take technology out of the lab and into the field as fossil fuel companies and others finally realize they had better do something more impressive than running television ads about their R&D programs on reducing carbon, and get into the action business with enough deployment to forestall an overall ban on liquid fuels in the EU that’s been discussed for the 2030s in Europe, and would tumble all the major fossil players right into the toilet. Think drop-in, think a good carbon price, think co-investment from the EU, and think about feedstock sources that have fixed prices for the long-term and score strongly on sustainability with the sharp civil society crowd in Brussels. But think of an advance on advanced.
