Germany: Fuel of the Future Congress Concludes Biofuels are Indispensable for Reaching EU Climate Goals

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   GM2022-0006

Hot topics of the 19th international “Fuels of the Future” congress included the EU’s Green Deal and “Fit for 55” package, biofuels and its alternatives (e-mobility, hydrogen, electricity-based fuels); CO2 pricing; and market conditions for biofuels and their feedstocks. Multiple speakers cautioned against restricting the focus of efforts to reduce GHG emissions to ramping up the use of battery-electric vehicles. Instead, they advocated that all drive technologies and advanced fuels, including biofuels, are needed to reach the climate goals.
