Exploring current technical barriers to higher ethanol blends
Learning from higher blend nations like Brazil, the Philippines and Vietnam
What opportunities do hybrid vehicles offer in terms of bridging the gap between competing markets of EVs and biofuels? Could higher ethanol blends offer a silver bullet solution to support faster decarbonization of existing fleets?
Is the threat of EVs stalling the development of higher blends and the true motivation behind the shift to SAF? Or do we need to establish consensus in accelerating all carbon saving technologies?
