[Seminar] The Frontline of Alternative Fuels to Gasoline

[Speaker]
Representative of Post-Petroleum Strategy Research Institute, LLC, Mr. Kisho Oba
[Key Lecture Content]
The decarbonization of automobiles is primarily shifting towards electric vehicles (EVs), but the importance of "next-generation fuels" utilizing existing infrastructure is being re-recognized. This seminar will focus on e-fuels and bioethanol, which are gaining attention as alternatives to gasoline, and will thoroughly analyze their policy trends and economic viability. It will explain why companies like Toyota and Porsche are engaging in next-generation fuels and the background behind Japan's significant policy shift from e-fuels to bioethanol. The seminar will compare the costs necessary for driving and gasoline reduction, and discuss the optimal "multi-pathway" strategy that companies should adopt.
