With the urgent need to address the climate crisis, sustainable fuels are in the spotlight.
This September, Japan hosted the first Ministerial Meeting on Sustainable Fuels in Osaka.
This was part of the "Initiative for Sustainable Fuels and Mobility (ISFM)," a program started at the Japan-Brazil summit in May 2024 to speed up the production and use of sustainable fuels for a carbon-neutral future.
Sustainable liquid fuels, such as sustainable biofuels, are a great option because their energy density is much higher even than the latest battery and easy to transport and store, and are promising options with immediate effectiveness as they also work with vehicles in use.
At this seminar, we'll invite stakeholders from Japan, Brazil, Europe, and U.S. to discuss the crucial role of these sustainable fuels and the potential for their expanded use in achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The ultimate goal is to drive the decarbonization of the road transportation sector.
