A contradiction

"In the future, whilst passenger cars will be primarily electric, biofuels are going to be critical for heavier modes of transport such as jets and trucks. The International Energy Agency projects that by 2050, 27 percent of global transport fuels will be biofuels. Meanwhile, large oil companies such as Preem and Total also predict that renewable biofuels will play an important role in the future. In their 'Sky Scenario', Shell expects that biofuels will account for 10 percent of all global end energy-use by the end of the century. That is in line with our research too," he concludes.
Bold face mine.

An otherwise great article on biofuels from the pros, we get this obligatory sop to the electrics.   But they also predict biofuels for transport will be all over the place.  The is grist for the internal combustion and turbo-electric cars, no lithium needed.

The ratios sort of predict 20% of transportation is biofuel, most long haul and air.  At least 20% of the cars should biofuel, but liquid stable fuel is preferred over jet rides by the vast majority of us car owners.
