The European Commission is devising a methodology to assess which renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs) deliver substantial carbon reductions. Here's T&E's views on the methodology.
RFNBOs are fuels made from renewable sources other than biomass. These renewable sources refer mostly to renewable electricity produced with wind and solar power. Electrofuels such as hydrogen, ammonia and synthetic hydrocarbons like e-kerosene are examples of such RFNBOs.
T&E’s key positions are the following:
Study shows major irregularities in the reported consumption of palm residues used in renewable diesel (HVO) being sold by oil majors
How recent import trends of palm residues raise concerns over a key feedstock for biofuels
Caving in to Trump’s demands to recognise US car standards as equivalent to Europe would be a grave error. But it’s part of a pattern
