We, European Fuel Manufacturers, offer the EU, its citizens, and businesses sustainable, affordable, and reliable liquid fuels, and products for industry.

The right EU policy framework will enable us to make a significant contribution and investment to help the EU successfully deliver climate neutrality by 2050, ensure a secure supply of energy, and foster innovative, EU-based, globally competitive industry.

FuelsEurope represents the industry manufacturing and supplying liquid fuels and other products. We stand behind the Paris Agreement and embrace the net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) objective. Significant policy improvements are needed to unlock investments and technologies to meet the 2050 target, and we are ready to cooperate with the EU to impact-assess the relevant regulations.

Our industry is part of the solution in the journey to climate neutrality:

  • By replacing fossil molecules with renewable molecules in our products.
  • By cutting the carbon footprint of our operations.
  • By enabling decarbonisation of other industries.

Our transformation has already started: some conventional refineries in Europe have already been converted into biorefineries, replacing petroleum by 100% sustainable biomass, alongside new renewable fuel plants. As a result, renewable, circular carbon has completely replaced fossil carbon. Other refineries are co-processing a mix of fossil feedstock and sustainable biomass, gradually reducing the carbon footprint of products.

We are contributing to the crucial and ambitious objectives of the EU, namely:

  1. CLIMATE NEUTRALITY BY 2050 IN THE EU - for the planet
  2. A SECURE SUPPLY OF ENERGY AND A RESILIENT EU - for the EU economy
  3. AN INNOVATIVE, EU-BASED, GLOBALLY COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY AND THE PROTECTION OF EVERYBODY’S WELFARE – for citizens

To help meet these objectives, we offer the EU our cooperation for urgently designing a comprehensive EU Strategy for the Transition of Liquid Fuels and Products, as part of the regulatory blueprint of the upcoming EU Institutional Cycle.

Simply put: let’s build together the business case to deliver on the clean energy transition.
