Environmental Aspects of the Production and Use of Biofuels in Transport

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Ecology in Transport: Problems and Solutions

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems ((LNNS,volume 124))

Abstract

The article presents a comprehensive analysis of the environmental aspects of the production and use of biofuels in transport. It is stated that the environmental impact occurs at all stages of production and processing of bioenergy raw materials. It is substantial during land use change and production intensification, and minimal greenhouse gas emissions are observed when lignocellulosic fuels are used. Life cycle analysis shows that battery electric vehicles have a better greenhouse gas saving than most biofuels. At the same time, a large-scale implementation of renewable energy sources is needed to reduce harmful emissions from electricity generation. It is established that the use of carbon-neutral synthetic biofuels is a promising way to achieve the complete decarbonisation of the transport sector.
