Even at the EIA baseline projected fuel demand in 2050, biofuels could supply as much as 50% of the jet fuel market, and 30% of the gasoline and diesel markets if EERE biofuel technology goals are met. While new fuel types require new infrastructure, the share of infrastructure cost within total fuel costs is very small (1.5-3%),

Which are the alternative fuels for cars that could replace gasoline in vehicle? Are you aware of the most commonly used fuel in automobiles? The answer is petroleum fuels. The fossil fuels are highly significant in the global economy. Do we have enough fuels for the future use?

I like the idea of letting the market decide which fuels blends to select. But the math makes fossil fuels a no-go fuel option. There’s no way to get gasoline (CI score: 95) to hit the 86 level without severe cannibalization of their gasoline business. The oil industry responded. No mandates, but blend credits.
