In the context of 2021 Zero Emissions Solutions Conference (ZESC) Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM) and Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) organize the event “The Land-Water-Energy Nexus of Biofuels” on November 5, 2021 h. 2.00 PM GMT. 
Experts of land-use, energy, water, and biofuel technologies, scientists, engineers and professionals from around the world were convened in 2020 to make up a world class consortium to discuss, debate, and refine the potential for biofuels to be incorporated into national and sectoral decarbonization strategies. In a recently released report, Roadmap to 2050: The Land-Water-Energy Nexus of Biofuels, these researchers attempt to better understand the intricacies of the global biofuel market, the evolution of key technologies, and the intersection of biofuel production on the land, water, and the local economies from which they are derived. This session will share the results of this effort in trying to better understand the feasibility of scaling biofuels to replace liquid fossil fuels in emissions reduction efforts, with a focus on the impacts to land, water and local economies.
