Watch the video: Driving decarbonisation with renewable fuels

The Tour d’Europe is an initiative of the European automotive value chain that will showcase the decarbonisation potential provided by renewable fuels, raise awareness about their availability in Europe, and underline their role in reaching the EU’s objective of climate neutrality by 2050.

As part of EU’s Green Deal, Europe has set itself the important goal to become climate neutral by 2050. GHG emissions from road transport are addressed through the revision of EU’s fleet targets, resulting in a de-facto ban on the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) for cars in 2035 and introducing a -90% target for ICE trucks.

European citizens and businesses support the EU’s climate neutrality ambition. However, we can observe that questions remain on the means to achieve climate neutrality in road transport and what this means for the future of the EU automotive and supplier industry, its industrial leadership and the associated 13.8 million jobs.

Importantly, there are additional solutions that can be used beyond just electrification and fuel-cell vehicles. Renewable fuels (liquid and gaseous) are already helping accelerate transport decarbonisation today – and could do more if EU policies took a more technology-open approach.
