Alternative fuels

Alternative fuels – such as hydrogen, biofuels and bioenergy – are a critical part of the decarbonisation transition and will be essential to the achievement of industrial and transportation decarbonisation in particular.

These diverse low carbon fuels have the potential to provide energy solutions for hard-to-abate sectors and processes, from green steel manufacturing to renewable industrial heat, sustainable aviation fuel and the production of essential chemicals. CEFC finance aims to help accelerate the evolution of alternative fuel feedstocks, processes and end-user markets, working with institutional investors to back early-stage and demonstration projects. This includes finance for hydrogen-related technologies through the Advancing Hydrogen and Innovation Funds, alongside investments in large-scale waste and recycling.
