The current energy crisis illustrates how a high dependence on a fossil economy is not only damaging the climate but also contributes to deepening inequality and a lack of security for food, fertilisers, materials, and energy. Biofuels are among the key mechanisms to provide the “glue” that binds together different applications, sectors and systems in advancing a sustainable bioeconomy. This cross-cutting and integrative role has often been overlooked due to debates around the use of food crops for biofuels. The wide range of cost-eƯective and low-emissions biofuel platforms and systems available can overcome these constraints. This session aims to foster dialogue on investment, sustainability governance, and practical pathways for accelerating the transition to biofuels in the context of the Sustainability, Availability, Scalability (S.A.S) framework.
