Europe has a homegrown solution for defossilising road transport
ePURE's Craig Winneker writes in The Parliament magazine:
"It’s the EU’s most stubborn problem in the fight against climate change: how to reduce Europe’s dependence on imported oil. Despite years of policies to promote renewable energy, the EU’s own statistics show the battle is not being won; more than 92% of Europe’s transport energy comes from fossil fuels.
"A dramatically shifting geopolitical situation has raised the stakes even higher. The EU is now prioritising energy independence and strategic autonomy, hoping to cut fossil fuel dependence without sacrificing affordability. Balancing these objectives means policymakers need a more pragmatic approach to transport energy – one that includes a range of workable solutions instead of just one technology.
"Renewable EU ethanol offers a homegrown solution that can help boost energy independence, food security and industrial competitiveness."
