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

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.
