Biofuels for transportation , a challenge for
the future
Ghislain Gosse
2
An international situation and its consequences

• Oil is a fossil energy vector, a finite resource
  at least for a given price
• Oil is very sensitive to geopolitic situation
• Oil is a source of greenhouse gases emissions

This situation is and will be long-lasting Needs
for a renewable energy vector
3
Why the energy question is crucial in the
transportation sector ?
4
Transportation sector and energy demand

• Transportation sector depends at 98 in oil
  supply.
• Energy demand from transportation will hudgely
  increase the oil demand.
• At the world level 600 Millions vehicles in
  1994 and 1 billion in 2010 (source IEA OECD
  (1994))
• Energy savings are now compensated by increase
  due to security equipment, air conditioning

Annual mean growth rate (2000-2030)
Global demand in primary energy 0,7 Energy
consumption in transportation 1,2
5
Among the alternatives fuels

• Compressed natural gas
• Liquified oil gas
• Electric car
• Biofuels
• Oil
• Alcohol
• Synthesis fuel

Non renewable alternatives Solution for clean car

Food-Fuel, a challenge for the XXIth century
population
Land availability will be a key criteria
2040-2060
9-10 billions
Critical period for oil
time
7
A proposal
In order to minimize competition with
food biofuels will have to be produced from an
ubiquist raw material with a high yield per unit
area
Lignocellulose from agriculture, forestry,urban
wastes is the best candidate
8
A strategy for biofuels
Oil Rape, Soybean Sunflower
Oil methyl ester
Chemistry
Sugars Beet Sugar cane sorghum
To day
Ethanol
Fermentation
Starch Cereals Corn, Cassava
Thermochemical Process
Lignocellulose Wood, crop residues Dedicated crops
To morrow
Synthesis fuels
9
What we need to meet the challenge?

• Industrial development of biofuels production
  based upon classical crops mainly ethanol
• Research on biofuel production from lignocellulose
