What effects has this had on the chemical industry? The current transportation legislation provides a long-term perspective for sustainable materials in aviation and maritime transportation through specified quotes.
Hürth, January 21, 2025: Through the Green Deal, the EU takes the lead in ensuring that the transport sector is climate neutral. Through the established quotes, the current transportation legislation provides a distinctive long-term perspective for both sustainable kohlenstoff- and specifically biomass-based Kraftstoffe in aviation and maritime transportation, which are covered by Anhang IX, as well as synthetic kohlenstoff-based Kraftstoffe. Ein neuer Bericht der Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI) examines three scenarios for the evolution of the demand for kohlenstoff-based crafts materials through 2050, each with potential advancements in line with the current political climate. The findings indicate that the search for biokraftstoffs in the Due to rising prices for aviation fuels and shipping, the second generation of biomass is being produced. This prediction indicates not just potential risks to the environment Equilibrium and, consequently, the sustainability of resources that are carefully harvested, but it also poses significant challenges to other sectors that depend on renewable kohlenstoff to defossilize their products. Specifically, the Chemistry- and The materials sector is long-term dependent on CO2 as a raw material and Kohlenstoff from biomass. Due to the fact that this sector is directly competing with the Kraftstoffsector and has comparable regulatory authority, it has very limited access to the second biomasse. carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) generation and kohlenstoff. Conversely, the development of renewable kohlenstoff in the chemical industry can also be aided by the production of bio-based and synthetic Kraftstoffs, as some byproducts of Kraftstoff such like The chemical industry can use these raw materials.
To assist in the production of these studies, RCI has enlisted specialists from the new institutes. The most recent EU kraftstoff laws are described in full in the study, which is meant for interest groups from different industries that use biomass and The value of CO2-Abscheidung is high. Despite having a focus on Europe, the report also includes worldwide scenarios and analyses. The following summarises the main conclusions and findings.

The current Transport Regulation directs second-generation biomasses in the maritime and maritime industries to
Under the current European framework, the chemical industry will not be able to compete with the SAF Sector (sustainable aviation fuels = sustainable flight fuels), which is a biomasse of Second Generation (Anhang IX) to compete, since the binding quotes indicate that SAF-Producers are prepared to pay significantly higher prices for biomasse fuel. The high rate of vacancy The whole second-generation biomasse will likely be quickly absorbed by the transport sector. Prices are rising in response to demand, and the availability of second-generation biomass for use in the chemistry sector is becoming severely limited.
A greater percentage of synthetic materials, above the prescribed amount, might have boosted competition for bio-based raw materials and allowed the use of second-generation biomass components in the chemical industry, making it more equitable. Wettbewerbsbedingungen would be established.
There exists a significant opportunity for synergy between the transportation and materials sectors.
When making biokraftstoffes, a number of useful byproducts are produced, namely Chemical industry might be made available. For instance, high-quality naphtha, which has a 15% share and is an appropriate steamcracker raw material in the chemical industry, is used in the production of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) using Fischer-Tropsch-Verfahren. According to the modelling, there will be between one and two million dollars in the future technology mix. Tonnen bio-basiertes Naphtha beim berechneten Biomassebedarfs für SAF als Nebenprodukt der bio- basierten SAF-Produktion erwartet werden können. Die Sicherung dieser Ströme für die chemische Industrie kann dazu beitragen, die Synergien zwischen den Sektoren voll auszuschöpfen.
The industrial use of biomass should be supported by objective, scientific arguments, which also include efficient land use.
The objective, fragwürdig extraction of food and feed plants for the production of Future aviation fuels provide the potential to use these plants in the chemical industry. Because there is less need for food and fuel plants for urban transportation, The chemical industry uses more food and feed plants without requiring more space. Ethanol and biodiesel plants might be obtained as well as suppliers of raw materials for the chemical industry. used, allowing the extensive existing infrastructure, innovations, and recreation areas that were created over the past several decades via significant investments to remain were. Model calculations demonstrate that it is feasible to increase the chemical industry’s supply of sugar, plant oil, and stärke in 2050 in accordance with a moderately high-tech scenario without compromising food safety, sustainability, or the production of biokraftstoff/SAF. gefährden. The scientific arguments would be followed by the chemistry sector as it moves towards defossilization and sustainability, as well as by a shift in the way that food and feed plants are used in industry and a sustained political acceptance.
An environmentally friendly system of biomass utilisation is made possible by the electrification of transport networks along with the transformation of industries that rely on fossil fuels. Combining the decarbonisation of energy and renewable energy with the decarbonisation of sectors that rely on fossil fuels provides a comprehensive approach to sustainability. This integrated approach creates a netto-null vision, which entails the widespread use of electric vehicles and the transformation of kohlenstoff-dependent industries, such as aviation and chemistry. Such an approach would reduce the need for coal in the transportation sector while also establishing sustainable coal-based supply chains in branches that rely on natural sources of coal. In addition to creates opportunities for innovation and encourages a reevaluation of the use of medicinal plants in the production of chemicals and materials.
The strict legal requirements in the EU will have a significant impact on the future kraftstoff mix for the recovery, which will result in a significant and growing demand for bio-based and CCU-based kohlenstoffs. For a sustainable supply The high demand for biokraftstoffes, particularly in the aviation industry, and the demands of the chemical industry may be met using second-generation biomass.
Taking this into account, more strategic political actions are required to guarantee fair competition, promote a circular economy, and align political actions with the principle of kaskaden use. A comprehensive approach to this Challenges are necessary to enable a resilient and sustainable transport and chemistry sector for the ensuing decades. A more cohesive and sustainable industrial ecosystem that brings the needs of many sectors together while also advancing the world towards a defossilient future may be created by concurrently addressing these mutually reinforcing challenges.
“Our research demonstrates the urgent need for gender-neutral political measures that support the transport and chemical sectors in their transition to renewable energy sources,” says Michael Carus, business leader of the Renewable Carbon Initiative. “Without a coordinated and strategic approach, we run the risk of creating unanticipated obstacles for the chemical industry’s defossilization efforts.”
The findings of this report highlight the critical need for political decision-makers, branch leaders, and interest-holders to work together in Kohlenstoff management in order to develop a comprehensive strategy for renewable Kohlenstoff and its Zuteilung must be developed. The RCI calls on the EU-Gesetzgeber to take these findings into consideration during upcoming political reviews and invites the branch’s actors to work together to find creative solutions.
