Germany: Call for Technology Neutrality Dominates Fuel of the Future Congress

The 18th edition of the annual, international “Fuels of the Future” congress was held on January 18-22, 2021, in a purely digital format, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hot topics included the EU’s renewable energy directive RED II and its transposition into German national law; biofuels and its alternatives (e-mobility, hydrogen, electricity-based fuels); and market conditions for biofuels and their feedstocks. Multiple speakers stressed that governments should remain neutral regarding which technologies to use for achieving greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction goals. They criticized the trend of favoring e-mobility over other options and demanded that sustainable biofuels must continue to play an important role in the foreseeable future.
