* Initiated partnerships with the Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development (CEBDS), the Biotechnology Innovation Organisation (BIO) and the Queensland Renewable Fuels Association (QRFA) to establish three new below50 hubs (in South America, North America and Australia respectively). These hubs will allow below50 activity to be focused on overcoming region- specific barriers, recognizing the global differences in market maturity.
* A below50 policy document was communicated by companies to policy makers on a united view on the European Renewable Energy Directive (REDII). The document included a call for REDII to be focused on not only second generation biofuels. It acknowledged the important role that conventional biofuels, with high GHG reduction potential, can play in meeting decarbonization and renewables targets for the transport sector.
* Introducing regional below50 hubs and diversifying the membership structure has allowed below50 to better reflect its marketplace. This in turn has led to a significant uptake in engagement with a 60% increase in membership. below50 has also attracted an official partnership with the We Mean Business coalition to further expand the reach and uptake of below50’s work on low carbon fuels. • The aim beyond 2017 is to expand the number of regional hubs to directly address the barriers in additional markets. Countries of immediate interest include China and the Philippines.
Capacity building:
* In July 2017, below50 partnered with BIO to organize a below50 event at BIO World Congress on Industrial Biotechnology (#BIOWC17) in Montreal. Industry leaders, government officials and academic researchers met to share the latest advances across the spectrum of industrial biotechnology including renewable chemicals, synthetic biology, food ingredients and advanced biofuels.
* below50 will also look to share the insights gained in regional campaigns across the global platform, continuing to build the market drivers needed to replace 10% of global transportation fossil fuel use with low-carbon transport fuels by 2030. Policy-making and implementation:
* In 2017 below50 has continued to work on combatting market and policy barriers to scaling up production and use of low carbon fuels. Particular focus has been placed on improving the market driven side, making the most of below50’s unique global platform of stakeholders across the entire value chain of sustainable transport fuels.
* In Brazil, where challenges exist around a lack of biofuel to meet demand, below50 members (with the assistance of CEBDS) submitted a letter of support for the RenovaBio program to the Brazilian government. The RenovaBio program is designed to incentivize investment by enabling biofuels producers to issue certified emissions reductions certificatesertified emissions reductions certificates +
