Scaling up Advanced Biofuels in the context of the UNFCCC COP21 in Paris
After years of R&D, new fuel-production technologies are now
The Advanced Biofuels LCTPi will:
beginning deployment in new production facilities around the
globe, but there is considerable opportunity to accelerate and
scale up their dissemination.
Demonstrate that advanced biofuels can reduce emissions
while helping to meet increasing demand for global
transportation
The Advanced Biofuels LCTPi consists of companies from
across the technology spectrum that are collaborating to scale
up carbon sparing technologies to help meet global energy
demand in a climate sensitive way.
Identify and activate appropriate national and international
policies to support sustainable growth of the new sector
Demonstrate novel partnerships and models that will attract
new investment
Provide scalable project opportunities for rapid execution
through public-private-partnership initiatives

About COP21 and the LCTPi
In December 2015, a global climate agreement will be brokered
LCTPi is a collaborative platform, gathering together project
at COP21, the Paris Climate Change Conference. This is a key
teams and stakeholders to discuss and agree the concrete
moment for all stakeholders to contribute to decisive climate
actions that are needed. It focuses on solutions that are beyond
action.

Launched in Lima in partnership with SDSN and IEA, LCTPi is
supported by the French Presidency of COP21 and is part of
