The utilization of renewable energy sources in transport has been analyzed by many researchers. The transport sector is one of the most dynamically developing sectors of the economy not only in Europe, but worldwide. With an increase in the number of vehicles, we are faced with a growing problem of contaminant emissions released to the atmosphere (generating negative externalities). The legislative bodies are attempting to implement various regulations and standards to curb the growing problem e.g. carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, which are jointly termed as decarbonization. One of the solutions proposed in this respect is to increase the consumption of renewable biofuels such as blended biodiesel and blended biogasoline.
Biofuels are fuel produced from the processing of biomass - products of living organisms, e.g. plants, animals or microorganisms. The use of biofuels for transport purposes reduces the burden on the environment and reduces the import of crude oil. It also contributes to an increase in employment in the agricultural sector and in the processing of agricultural products. The use of biofuels in road transport, especially in public transport vehicles, may provide specific benefits in terms of environmental protection as well as measurable economic benefits.
The problem currently concerns the presentation of renewable biofuels in transport. Research and scientific publications on this subject are not sufficient, therefore it is worth analyzing this topic.
The aim of the topic is to focus on the essence of biofuels in transport. A comparative analysis is important as well as the presentation of work on existing and new biofuels. As well as showing its effectiveness.
Globally, there are currently activities aimed at promoting the use of liquid biofuels as a substitute for petroleum-derived fuels. An important argument in favor of the wider use of biofuels is also the prospect of the need to switch to renewable fuels due to the depletion of fossil resources. It is also important to conduct research on this topic.
This research topic aims to attract original research, reviews, mini-reviews and perspective articles from scientists, practitioners and other stakeholders to provide theoretical and empirical analysis focusing on the production of renewable biofuels for use in transport. We also encourage submissions in relation to statistical analysis applications, case studies, innovative parametric and non-parametric methodologies related to the subject of this research topic. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Production of biofuels for use in transport, such as biodiesel, biogasoline, etc.
• Production of liquid biofuels as an energy source for transport
• Energy consumption
• Transport problems that would be solved by biofuels
• Ecological transport using biofuels
Keywords:
Renewable energy sources, transport, biofuels, liquid biofuels

All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
