Green Fuels
Overview
Green fuels are emerging as a cornerstone of the clean energy transition, offering a practical pathway to decarbonise sectors that are difficult to electrify – such as heavy industry, aviation, and maritime transport. Scaling green fuels is not simply a production challenge; it is a system challenge. Developers and investors must navigate uncertainty in policy design and sustainability criteria, persistent cost gaps versus conventional fuels, and complex considerations around feedstock availability, access to renewable power, CO₂ sourcing, and infrastructure readiness at ports and airports. Delivering at pace requires clear, carefully selected no-regret moves – alongside the right project partners and coordinated execution to bridge commercial gaps between generation and offtake. That coordination requires careful consideration and advisor-experience spanning producers, offtakers, regulators, financiers, and infrastructure providers - supported by rigorous analysis and pragmatic delivery planning.
