## We are accelerating progress and increasing visibility on the clean fuel transition

Clean fuels – including liquid and gaseous biofuels, hydrogen derivatives, and lower-emission fossil fuels – present an immediate opportunity to reduce emissions, strengthen energy security, and drive economic growth. As regions and sectors change how energy is produced and consumed, clean fuels play an important role in enabling a more sustainable, resilient and affordable energy system.The Future of Clean Fuels initiative brings together leading private and public stakeholders across the clean fuel ecosystem to build awareness, foster alignment, and identify practical solutions that can scale clean fuel deployment.


## Key focus areas

The initiative focuses on three priority areas to help unlock and scale clean fuel investments, to align perspectives across sectors and support tangible progress in the coming decade.


### Build awareness

Strengthen the understanding of the clean fuel landscape, and identify where public-private action should focus, grounded in robust insights.


### Develop solutions

Surface practical policy, public-private and business measures that can help remove barriers and de-risk investments to accelerate deployment of clean fuels.


### Mobilise collaboration

Bring together high-ambition private and public stakeholders from across the clean fuel ecosystem to share perspectives, foster collaboration, and mobilise joint action.
