The deployment of advanced biofuels is projected to yield considerable GHG savings. Depending on the scenario, emissions avoided by advanced biofuels could account for 27 – 65 MtCO2eq/yr and contribute to reducing the carbon intensity of the transport fuel mix by 20%. By 2050, the emissions avoidance could exceed 151 MtCO2eq/yr. It is also associated with a significant positive impact on direct and indirect employment generating over 53,000 new jobs by 2030 and over190,000 by 2050, which would represent about 0.1% of the total EU jobs as of 2022.
