Skor: Biofuels must play big role in Biden admin’s climate goals

The CEO of Growth Energy says the Biden administration’s push for electric vehicles could threaten low-carbon fuel options.

Speaking at the organization’s executive leadership conference Thursday, Emily Skor said EV mandates aren’t the only answer to reducing emissions. “The current proposal reflects a dogmatic fixation on EVs,” she said. “It presents a false choice between two extremes: fossil fuel-only vehicles or mass adoption of EVs. Neither one is reality.”

She says biofuels must play a big role. “It ignores the carbon savings potential within liquid fuels, which we all know will be powering the majority of cars on the road for decades to come. EVs alone cannot get us to net-zero. I think we’re seeing that in the headlines every day.”

Skor says renewable fuels are also the future of clean energy in the sky with the sustainable aviation fuel market.
