Advanced biofuels will not be in widespread use until about 2020, the chief executive of Royal Dutch Shell has said, puncturing hopes that they could be on the verge of a commercial breakthrough.
Peter Voser, who took over at the head of Shell in July, told reporters at a briefing last week that it would take quite a number of years before there is a commercially proven plant.
Mr Voser is now managing expectations by warning it is likely to be a decade before that second generation ethanol is in widespread commercial use.
