IEA Bioenergy Task 39 is launching a call for experts and stakeholders to answer a survey for the Industry Hearing on Biofuels for Decarbonization of Land Transport, coordinated by IEA Bioenergy Task 39 in collaboration with SAE BRASIL and the Society of Bioenergy (SBE).
We invite contributions from industry, academia, OEMs, fuel producers, infrastructure providers, government agencies, financial institutions, certification bodies, multilateral organizations, and civil society.

The questionnaire will support the development of:
• the Industry Hearing discussions,
• a technical White Paper, and
• a Statement contributing to COP31 discussions on sustainable fuels and transport decarbonization.

The process focuses on practical and scalable pathways for reducing emissions from land transport between 2026–2035, particularly in sectors where rapid electrification remains challenging.

Topics include:
🔹 near-term emissions mitigation
🔹 fuel-engine-infrastructure compatibility
🔹 infrastructure and logistics
🔹 sustainability certification and regulatory harmonization
🔹 financing and deployment policies
🔹 alignment with long-term net-zero pathways

The questionnaire takes approximately 25–35 minutes and responses will be treated confidentially and analyzed in aggregate.

📅 Deadline: June 30, 2026
