To ban or not to ban? This is not the question
Why exclude renewable fuels? Let’s go back to science FuelsEurope strongly supports a transition to a decarbonized road transport system. But to achieve this, we need policies that leverage all available technologies. The question of whether to ban or allow specific technologies detracts from the real challenge and the ultimate goal of real carbon dioxide reduction.
Seizing Europe’s industrial and decarbonized future
The renewal of European institutions offers a critical opportunity to address the fundamental challenges facing the region’s economy and industries. As outlined in Mario Draghi’s recent report, Europe’s future — its prosperity, competitiveness and capacity for innovation — depends on a renewed focus on strengthening industrial growth, ensuring economic security and driving decarbonization.
Current policy routes put security supply at high risk
Defined as the uninterrupted availability of energy sources at an affordable price, energy security is a concept that focuses on ensuring a stable and continuous supply of energy to meet the needs of individuals, businesses, industry, communities and countries. The world has entered a critical decade for delivering a more secure, sustainable and affordable energy market.
Decarbonizing heavy-duty can’t be only based on an early-stage technology
Growing evidence about potential raw materials shortages, insufficient EU battery production capacity, increased BEV repair costs, and large infrastructure and grid needs reinforce calls to vote for a technology-inclusive approach. John Cooper is Director General of FuelsEurope. On the 21st November the plenary vote for CO2 emission standards for Heavy-Duty Vehicles (HDVs) will take place in the European Parliament.
Decarbonizing heavy-duty can’t be only based on an early-stage technology
On November 21, 2023, the plenary vote for CO2 emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) will take place in the European Parliament.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing: why T&E is wrong on Euro 7 proposals
The Euro 7 Strategy is all about new cars, and many think that this regulation holds the key to reducing transport’s impact on air quality. However, air quality in cities is about the whole fleet of cars, trucks, buses, building heating systems, industrial background and transboundary air pollution. To get the best results we need to work out how Euro 7 can contribute and can make the best improvements within this context.
The ICE: To ban or not to ban
Entering the final stages of the 2035 Car CO2 regulation’s scrutiny, the fuels industry proposes an alternative strategy to support and complement electrification. Modifying the vehicle regulations to instead “ban fossil emissions from 2035” would benefit many across EU society. Europe’s vehicle strategy is defined by one regulation, CO2 in cars with a test protocol mostly designed in the 1980s.
On the way to climate neutrality, the contribution of EU refiners
A few weeks ago 195 parties reiterated in Glasgow at COP26 their willingness to keep the increase in global average temperature well below 2C above pre-industrial levels and continue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5C. Earlier in July, the European Commission presented its Fit for 55 package aimed at achieving climate neutrality by 2050 and Europe delivering its share in addressing the climate challenge.
Sufficient feedstock available to support low-carbon liquid fuels in the EU
Climate neutrality in 2050 is an EU objective that can’t be missed and the fuel industry is committed to contribute to its achievement. Liquid fuels will increasingly be replaced by electromobility but for some uses we will still need liquids.
EU refiners call for action to unlock low-carbon investment
The EU Green Deal is at the heart of the EU economic recovery. Industries have an enormous opportunity to take bold climate action to meet society’s expectations and future proof their businesses. For one thing, EU refiners share the EU’s climate neutrality objectives and have confidence in their ability to develop low-carbon technologies at scale, to enable the progressive decarbonization of transport by 2050. But do investors, consumers and decision-makers share our confidence?
Mineral oils: from cradle to clean
Printing inks, car tyres, lip balm, baby oil… do you know what they have in common? They are all made using mineral oils, essential ingredients in many products we use daily. You want to know more? Check out the Concawe’s animation.
