Shell: biofuels are the best alternative to oil-based transport fuels for the next 20 years

"Shell re-affirmed its belief that biofuels are the best alternative to oil-based transport fuels for the next 20 years at F.O. Licht's World Ethanol & Biofuels in Barcelona on 8 November.

In a keynote interview to open the conference, Arthur Reijnhart, General Manager, Alternative Energies and Fuel Development Strategy for Shell, painted a picture of an increasingly diverse energy supply landscape against a backdrop of soaring demand between now and 2050, driven by population growth, increasing incomes and increasing urbanisation of the world's population."

AFS believe that a truly sustainable process, making full use of renewable energies available, must not have any impact on the Earth's resources and land use, land is an increasingly short commodity,

Also consider this - OIL uses 44 gallons of water to extract and distill 1 gallon of fuel, and is carbon addative.

Biofules use 100 gallons of water. But is carbon neutral, and has limited areas of land that can be used.

AFS fuel uses 1 gallon of water and is Carbon Neutral, it is also unlimited in its supply, all the raw materials are free, and the costs are know ahead for 25 years, no GEO political influences!

We need a synthetic fuel to replace fossil fuels as the energy crisis becomes more apparent.

AFS Synthetic Fuel:

• Identical to existing liquid transport fuels,
• Inexhaustible fuel.
• Carbon Neutral.
• Fixed cost  for 25 years
• Not tied to any geopolitical pressures`.
• Can be manufactured within the country,.
• There is no conflict in use of land resources,.
• Can be produced as diesel, petrol, JetA1, plastics, fertilizers
