Liquid Biofuels and Renewable Hydrogen to 2050

The UK's 2003 Energy White Paper identified two fuels with the potential to achieve very large reductions in road transport CO2: renewable hydrogen and biomass-based fuels. It committed the Government to undertaking an assessment of the overall and long-term energy implications of the very large-scale use of these fuels in road transport, with a time-horizon of 2050.

The Department for Transport prepared this assessment, working closely with other Government departments and drawing on two commissioned academic studies and wide-ranging stakeholder input. The assessment has been completed and published alongside the Transport White Paper, The Future of Transport. It is available from the Department for Trade and Industry's Energy White Paper website at:
