There are many different renewable fuels for the transport sector. With the help of experts in the f3 network, we have compiled basic information about the most common fuels, raw materials for fuel production, conversion technologies, and related topics such as regulation and policy.
The information is presented in the form of fact sheets and on this page you can read and download it.
In the publication library, all published material on renewable transportation fuels can be accessed, such as summaries, reports and information folders.
