Sequential Cropping Responding to the Need to Develop New Sustainable Feedstock for Lipid Biofuels

Short Introductive summary

Sustainable biofuels are indispensable for climate mitigation. As the European Union is increasing climate ambition, the need for sustainable advanced biofuels increases. One major obstacle in the 2020’s will be scarcity of sustainable feedstock. Current planned investments in renewable diesel only will create feedstock scarcity. New novel agricultural methods and innovations are needed to provide truly sustainable feedstock for the growing need of biofuels. This paper describes the business case for climate positive fuels, a novel innovation that has multiple positive impacts on climate change mitigation. EU’s climate goals depend both on how to reduce transport emissions and how to involve the agricultural sector in climate mitigation. Sequential cropping provides solutions to both challenges.
