The study considered the:

• technology developments to date
• technical barriers to commercialisation within the biofuel industry
• development influences including finance, policy support and regulation
• commercialisation and scale timelines

Advanced drop-in biofuels are made from waste substances. They could potentially replace existing transport fuels without requiring infrastructure or vehicle changes. Advanced drop-in biofuels are considered vital to achieving the Climate Change Act 2008 decarbonisation targets, PDF, 440KB which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% by 2050.

The study was completed by E4tech in February 2017 on behalf of the Department for Transport.
