Biofuels play a key role in the European energy transition, helping to reduce emissions and diversify energy sources in the transportation sector. Growth of biofuels in 2023 according to the EurObserv’ER Report The 2024 Biofuels Report in Europe, prepared by EurObserv’ER (the European renewable energy observatory), highlights the progress made in 2023. Renewable energy consumption…
Registrations are officially open for Oil&nonOil 2025, the reference event for operators in the fuel distribution chain. The event will be held from 22 to 24 October 2025 at Veronafiere, offering an important opportunity for companies and professionals in the sector to update and compare notes. A landmark for the future of mobility Oil&nonOil is…
Biofuels are increasingly proving to be an essential component of Europe’s sustainable future. Their use reduces greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to the realisation of decarbonisation strategies, which are key to combating climate change. EPURE, the European association representing producers of renewable and sustainable ethanol, recently published an analysis of biofuel policies and market developments…
Second-generation biofuels are an innovative solution for clean energy production, exploiting non-food raw materials to reduce environmental impact. These biofuels utilise agricultural waste, forest residues and other non-edible biomass, contributing significantly to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. In Spain, the companies Cepsa and Bio-Oils are collaborating to build the world’s largest second-generation biofuel plant…
In an increasingly sustainability-conscious society, biofuels represent a key element for a greener future. According to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), biofuel production is expected to grow by 22% over the next decade. The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts a 30% increase in demand by 2028. To support this global energy transition,…
In the face of the climate crisis, Europe must reduce emissions from the transport sector, which is responsible for a significant share of greenhouse gases. With the ambitious goal of achieving zero net emissions by 2050, the European Union is stepping up efforts to revolutionise the transport sector, focusing on a broader decarbonisation strategy. Reducing…
Biofuels are emerging as a crucial option for reducing the environmental impact of transport. But what is their life cycle? Let us find out together. Cultivation of crops The process starts with the cultivation of plants rich in oils and sugars, such as rapeseed, maize and soya. These plants represent a sustainable source of renewable…
By 2030, the European Union will need 8.8 million charging stations to adequately support the growing spread of electric cars. This ambitious target requires an eightfold increase over the current infrastructure, highlighting a crucial challenge for the transition to sustainable mobility. From 2017 to 2023, sales of electric cars in the EU grew three times…
In recent years, to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and the resulting production of carbon dioxide, there has been increasing talk of biofuels. These alternative fuels are produced from renewable resources and represent one of the most promising solutions for a sustainable energy future. But what are the main biofuels in use today? Biodiesel:…
The European Commission’s new initiative The European Commission recently approved a significant funding package for 42 projects designed to promote sustainable mobility in Europe. These projects were selected under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), with a total of 424 million euros allocated for their development and implementation. Goals and impacts of funding The new round…
