Biofuels for transportation ,
a challenge for the future
Ghislain Gosse
An international situation and its consequences
Oil is a fossil energy vector, a finite resource at least for a given price
Oil is very sensitive to geopolitic situation
Oil is a source of greenhouse gases emissions
This situation is and will be long-lasting
Needs for a renewableenergy vector
Why the energy question is crucial in the transportation sector ?
Transportation sector and energy demand
Transportation sector depends at 98% in oil supply.
Energy demand from transportation will hudgely increase the oil demand.
At the world level : 600 Millions vehicles in 1994 and 1 billion in 2010 (source : IEA & OECD (1994))
Energy savings are now compensated by increase due to security equipment, air conditioning…
Annual mean growth rate (2000-2030)
Global demand in primary energy +0,7 %
Energy consumption in transportation +1,2 %
Among the alternatives fuels
Compressed natural gas
Liquified oil gas
Electric car
Biofuels
• Oil
• Alcohol
• Synthesis fuel
Non renewable alternativesSolution for clean car in town
Biofuels a necessary passage
for transportation
Food-Fuel, a challenge for the XXIth century
time
population
2040-2060
9-10 billions
Critical period for oil
Land availability will be a key criteria
In order to minimize competition with food
biofuels will have to be produced
from an ubiquist raw material
with a high yield per unit area
Lignocellulose from agriculture,
forestry,urban wastes is the best
candidate

What we need to meet the challenge?
Industrial development of biofuels production based upon classical crops mainly ethanol
Research on biofuel production from lignocellulose
A scenario for the future
A transient period, A necessary passage on a learning curve towards a sustainable biofuels production
