Biofuels and e-fuels
Biofuels and e-fuels OVERVIEW AND CHALLENGES In France, in 2019, the transport sector emitted 132 million metric tons of CO 2, i.e. 30% of the country’s total emissions. Renewable and low-carbon fuels are mature and available solutions and, alongside electrification and energy efficiency, represent crucial decarbonization levers. In order to
